DAY 23: Adjective stuff and stuff

I was looking through that list of first-lines-of-novels and realized that I don't have a way of handling comparatives! That is, if one has an adjective 'good', then one also has 'better' and 'best'. Blue, bluer, bluest. Wet, wetter, most wet. I forget what 'better' is but 'best' is superlatives.

least: ialy-
less: ash-
more: iko-
most: aupfo-

And then I forgot to actually do this yesterday so... another thing for today. I grabbed a random sentence from that syntax test page Lyn linked to.

They opened all the doors and windows.

This brings up the question of how to combine two objects rather than two clauses. I think they're just listed without a conjunction.

[open][past] [every][door][acc] [every][window][acc]

Also of note: the subject is dropped, as the original sentence uses 'they' as an indefinite-but-assumed-from-context subject.

pfiles - v. to open
estsu - n. door, doorway, entrance
syfysh - n. window, impassable opening, ventilation hole
