superlatives are covered, basically you use double syllables to indicate degrees of something. I've written a lengthy post on it in this forum somewhere, but I'll soon add it to the dedicated Sarus site which I'm hoping will be announced soon.

Here's the gist of it.. double syllables are used to denote tense, such as past, present and future, as well as some other grammatical variations. However, used in conjunction with adjectives, they can express degrees of a thing:

best - tt ms
more better - ll ms
better - ss ms
good (neutral) - ff ms (this is the same as just saying ms)
worse - mm ms
more worse - rr ms
worst - dd ms

Notice that dd ms = tt sm and vice versa

extremely - tt ft (most very)
