[Q] adjectival agreement

[Michael Noonan]

In Lango [see my _Grammar of Lango_], a few adjectives agree in number
only [there are no concord classes] with their heads in attributive
constructions, but do not agree in number as such when predicates.
However, when they are predicates, all adjectives are conjugated like
verbs in the habitual aspect and agree in person/number with their
subjects.  The morphology of agreement in the two cases is completely
different.
