wide.--SCOTT.
[Sidenote: _List III._] 167. The adjectives in List III. are like the comparative forms in List II. in having no adjective positives. They have no superlatives, and have no comparative force, being merely descriptive. Her bows were deep in the water, but her _after_ deck was still dry.--KINGSLEY. Her, by the by, in _after_ years I vainly endeavored to trace.--DE QUINCEY. The upper and the _under_ side of the medal of Jove.--EMERSON. Have you ever considered what a deep _under_ meaning there lies in our custom of strewing flowers?--RUSKIN. Perhaps he rose out of some _nether_ region.--HAWTHORNE. _Over_ is rarely used separately as an adjective. CAUTION FOR ANALYZING OR PARSING. [Sidenote: _Think what each adjective belongs to._] |
