   * comparative is formed by appending the affix **-re** to the positive-stem

+== Proposal 3 ==
+  * comparative is formed by suffixing **-ere** to the positive stem
+  * superlative is formed by suffixing **-est** to the positive stem
+  * This would allow the suffix **-er** to serve as the plural without conflict, e.g. **de grot, de grotere, de grotest** (singular) and **de groter, de groterer, de grotester** (plural).
+== Negatives ==
+It needs to be decided how to implement negative comparatives and superlatives (English "less", "least"; Esperanto "malpli", "malplej"). The obvious way is by means of adverbial particles, e.g. **minder** and **minst**, acting like detached prefixes.
+== With Participles ==
+Are the comparative and superlative endings used with participles? If not, the alternative is (presumably) to use "more" and "most", e.g. "more interesting" and "most interesting" (rather than "interestinger" and "interestingest").
