+====== Adjectives ======
+As in Sumerian, Elamite adjectives do not form a distinct morphological class. Rather, they behave like nouns in the rectum of a genitive construction, taking gender suffixes appropriate to the noun they modify. E.g. temti risza-r 'great lord'. Comparatives and superlatives are expressed via genitive constructions, e.g. risza-r napi-p-r(a) 'greatest of the gods'.
