In Barrie & Uchihara (2019) I mentioned that Cherokee "adjectives" (which are distinct from verbs, unlike other Iroquoian languages) are more noun-like and virtually indistinguishable from deverbal nouns. </div>

Just a biblio search. I'm working on a language, having a hard time coming up with criteria that distinguish nouns and adjectives (maybe there are none? yes I've read Dixon).</div>
