Minno and mudjee, good and bad, being of the limited number of personal adjectives, which modern usage permits being applied, although often improperly applied, to inanimate objects, they as well as a few other adjectives, form exceptions to the use of number. Whether we say a good man or a bad man, good men or bad men, the words minno and mudjee, remain the same. But all the declinable and coalescing adjectives-- adjectives which join on, and, as it were, _melt into_ the body of the substantive, take the usual plural inflections, and are governed by the same rules in regard to their use, as the substantive, personal adjectives requiring personal plurals, &c. Adjectives Animate. _Singular_. Onishishewe mishemin, Good apple. Kwonaudjewe eekwae, Handsome woman. Songedaeae inine, Brave man. Bishegaindaugoozzi peenasee, Beautiful bird. Ozahwizzi ahmo, Yellow bee. _Plural_. Onishishewe-wug mishemin-ug, Good apples. Kwonaudjewe-wug eekwae-wug, Handsome women. Songedaeae-wug inine-wug, Brave men. Bishegaindaugoozzi-wug peenasee-wug, Beautiful birds. Ozahwizzi-wug ahm-oeg, Yellow bees. Adjectives Inanimate. _Singular_. Onishishin mittig, Good tree. Kwonaudj tshemaun, Handsome canoe. Monaudud ishkoda, Bad fire. Weeshkobun aidetaig, Sweet fruit. _Plural_. Onishishin-oen mittig-oen, Good trees. Kwonaudjewun-oen tshemaun-un, Handsome canoes. Monaudud-oen ishkod-aen, Bad fires. Weeshkobun-oen aidetaig-in, Sweet fruits. Peculiar circumstances are supposed to exist, in order to render the use of the adjective, in this connexion with the noun, necessary and proper. But in ordinary instances, as the narration of events, the noun would precede the adjective, and oftentimes, particularly where a second allusion to objects previously named became necessary, the compound expressions would be used. Thus instead of saying the yellow bee, waeyzahwizzid, would distinctly convey the idea of that insect, _had the species been before named_. Under similar circumstances kainwaukoozzid, agausheid soengaunemud, mushkowaunemud, would respectively signify, a tall tree, a small fly, a strong wind, a hard wind. And these terms would become plural in _jig_, which, as before mentioned, is a mere modification of _ig_, one of the five general animate plural inflections of the language.
