Adjective: of, or pertaining to a marsupial. Isn't this just a regular attributive adjective? We don't accept these, right (although there are some translations thereunder which could be worth a keep) --Jackofclubs 13:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- It has a limited amount of use as a true adjective. Consider the following cases, respectively, of gradable, comparative, and predicate use:

- Great. Maybe there should be a(nother) definition as having a pouch or similar. --Jackofclubs 06:18, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- The reason I troubled to find and provide the particular citations above is that predicate, graded, and comparative use are three markers of true adjectivity. (BTW, I am not sure that the usage in the "more" quote is comparative, though certainly graded.) DCDuring TALK 16:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
RFD passed, since everyone seems to accept DCDuring's cites as demonstrating adjectivality. :-) —RuakhTALK 01:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
