Category:English adjectives ending in -en

This category is a list of English adjectives that are formed by adding an -en suffix (or similar) to a noun.

This should not be used simply as a spelling grouping. The category is specifically concerned with the relationship between a noun and its adjective.

Specific criteria for inclusion
Words should only be included when :


 * the stem word is a noun
 * the adjective is formed by extending the noun
 * the suffix is -n, -en, or -ern
 * the adjective is not exclusively a past participle

Examples of words that are not to be included:


 * eaten - past participle of "eat"
 * children - a noun, not an adjective

But the following words are correctly (if contestably) included:


 * the west - western
 * a drunk - drunken
 * some brass - brazen
