Damn. I hate it when that happens.
It was on Wikipedia.
How did you know what I did on my vacation?
Dude, it's a real word. We just speak a screwy language. You'll adjust, sooner or later. Or have a total linguistic breakdown and go hermit on an unpopulated island in the south seas, drawing hieroglyphs to yourself amidst the fiddler crabs.
That just looks screwy. Nounish, but screwy.
Oh well in that case there's always nounal. :-P
Oh, I suppose. But it just doesn't have the savoir-faire, the...nounishness, if you will, of "noun." ;-P
How about nominal?
Hmm. Is there an adjectival form of "noun"?
If you think adjective is fun to say, try adjectival, the adjective form of adjective.
“The adjective is the banana peel of the parts of speech.”
– Clifton Fadiman (1902-1999)
Funny that the word adjective is a noun... Same with all the other parts of speech, but adjective is the most fun to say. Except for maybe gerund.
I just love the irony that arises when writing, to discover that you are in need of a "good" adjective, no wait, a "better" adjective, or perhaps an "empathic, melodious, soulful" adjective. And then you decide on moist.
