45. Comparison of adjectives and adverbs. The comparative of adjectives
is formed by adding -ior (neuter, -ius) to the base of the
positive, the comparative of adverbs being, for the most part, the
same as the neuter comparative of the adjective. The superlative is
usually formed by adding to the base of the positive -issimus for
adjectives ending in -s or -x (adverbs -issime), -rirnus for adjectives
ending in -r (adverbs -rime), and -limus for adjectives ending in
-iIis (adverbs -lime).
