§ [134]. The prt. ptc. pass., like an ordinary adj., follows the strong and weak inflection; e. g., the pp. of the stv. giban:
| Strong: | m. | gibans | n. | giban, gibanata | f. | gibana |
| Weak: | gibana | gibanô | gibanô |
The pp. of the wv. nasjan:
| Strong: | nasiþs | n. | nasiþ, nasidata | f. | nasida | |
| Weak: | nasida | nasidô | nasidô |
Note. Concerning the interchange between þ and d in the pp. of the weak verbs, s. [§ 74].
D. COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVS.
1. COMPARATIV.
§ [135]. The comparativ degree of adjectivs in Gothic is formd by means of two suffixes, -iz- and -ôz-, to which the terminations of the weak adjectivs ar added.
The formation with the suff. -iz- is more general than the other. It is found in adjs. of all kinds; e. g., managiza (< manags, a-stem), alþiza (< alþeis, [§§ 127]. [128]), hardiza (< hardus, [§ 131]).—But the suffix -ôz- occurs in a-stems only: frôdôza (< frôþs), swinþôza (< swinþs).
Note. The adj. juggs, yung, has the compar. jûhiza (according to [§ 50], n. 1). Its superlativ is not extant.
