We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject: query about language

Dear Linguists,
   Are you aware of a language in which
  (1)  the attributive uses of adjectives appear with a suffix, clitic, or
ending, while their predicative uses do not?
  (2)  comparative adjectives are used with a function to show emphasis on
the positive form of the adjectives?
   Could you please inform me of the answers to these questions via
rhm659 at yahoo.co.uk?
I appreciate your contribution.
Sincerely,
M.-R. Fakhr-Rohani
