Default headword paradigm for Akkadian adjectives

 * PaRSum (feminine: PaRVStum, masculine plural: PaRSūtum, feminine plural: PaRSātum, predicative: PaRVS)

Where P-R-S represent R₁-R₂-R₃ of a typical Akkadian trisyllabic root, and V a vowel.

Details

 * 1) Default V for adjective is /i/ (or /e/, in ajdectives that have /e/ instead of /a/):
 * 2) A minor number of adjectives have a different vowel, that will have to be specified as a parameter:
 * 3) * /a/: > ,
 * 4) * /u/: > ,
 * 5) Adjectives derived from stative verbs with identical R₂ and R₃ (of the form PaRRum) drop R₃ in the predicative and don't take any vowel in the feminine. They could be specified using a dash (-) in the vowel parameter:
 * 6) * (stative) > ,
 * 7) * BUT: (from, action verb) > , , like any other verb.
 * 8) Some adjectives maintain their base form throughout the inflection:
 * 9) Adjectives derived from II-weak verbs (of the form PV̄Sum):
 * 10) * >, , etc.
 * 11) Adjectives that don't syncopate V (often when R₃ is /r/).
 * ,, etc.
 * 1) Adjectives derived from III-weak verbs (of the form PaRûm/PeRûm)):
 * 2) default V is /i/, but some can have /u/:
 * 3) * V = /i/
 * 4) * V = /u/
 * 1) * V = /i/
 * 2) * V = /u/
 * 1) * V = /u/
 * 1) * V = /u/

Standard sound changes before feminine marker

 * 1) If R₃ = /n/, /d/ or /ṭ/ then R₃ = /t/:
 * 2) * >,  > , etc.
 * 3) If R₃ = /s/, /ṣ/ or /z/ then R₃ = /š/:
 * 4) * >,  > ,  > , etc.
