Note: in Vayoti, adjectives come after the nouns they modify, preceded by ste, and no matter how many adjectives are applied to a single noun, the word "and" is not interposed. Thus, a Vayoti phrase could read like "the house [ste] big brown old dilapidated scary". Note also that in Vayoti modifiers function as either adjectives or adverbs; when they function as adverbs they follow the verb, adjective or other adverb they modify without any intervening ste.
