Adjective
Adjectives are genderless in their original form as a rule and acquire a gender to agree with the noun they modify. They also agree with the number while person is irrelevant. The adjectives are strict on always needing a noun after them,if one wishes to express "being X"one uses the predicate endings and treat it as a verb.

In both cases the Positive form in comparative, there is no superlative form, means in the sense of more of the adjective, while negative means less so.

Adjectives are placed in front of the noun they modify

Obviative
Obviative is used to mark the less important thing in an sentence.

For example if one speaks of two men, Josef and Carl. Wishing to say for "Josef pushed Carl, after that he punched him" the later sentence lacks specification as both pronouns may apply to either Josef of carl, One would add or have the part representing Carl obviative as he is the least important of the two as josef is the one doing the actions.

Obviative is marked with the suffix "adj(G)" where (G) represent the gender vowel of the noun and is placed onto the stem

Reflexive
Reflexive is achived by using reflexive case tumbra Lessons/26 Reflexive

Genitive
tumbra does not have a genitive case, a postposition is used instead. It is done in a manner similar to Spanish, which says like "House of Jacob" though in tumbra the "of" word is placed behind Jacob and becomes "Jacob of House" translated of course. And it should be noticed not everything in tumbra we consider possessed is possessed there, and they have alien and inalienable possession.

Correlatives
Correlatives are declined like the type they belong to.
