 +== 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.
