Intensity

There are five degrees of quality intensity, each having a specific expression: The Least, Lesser, Normal (Default), Greater и The Greatest.

The Normal (Default) degree is assumed by default when a regular concept order is used.

The Least and the Greatest degrees are expressed by use of special concepts !en !en «being the greatest» and lais lais «being the least», for example: !enhaanpuu! !enhaanpuu! «The Largest tree», laysduuztak laysduuztak «The least smooth stone».

The Lesser and Greater degrees are expressed similarly by use of concepts lag lag «exceeding» and naz naz «lacking», examples following: naazhaenpuu! naazhaenpuu! «the smaller tree», suusnoplaagjain suusnoplaagjain «the hare exceeds wolf's speed» or «the hare is quicker than the wolf».
