===Modifiers and descriptors===
In Packilvanian, there are technically neither adjectives nor adverbs. This is because words which describe or modify other words have an embedded copulative i.e., the prefix that they have already implies something akin to "is" or "be". Thus, these words are functionally verbs. For instance, "the happy people" is "''meshabil mejubeel''" which directly translates to "the people (that) are happy". Words that modify or describe other words thus have the same prefix as the word that they are describing (e.g., '''''me'''shabil '''me'''jubeel'').
Adverbs and adjectives are grammatically treated the same, thus linguists do not make a distinction between the two, giving rise to the use of the loose term "modifiers" and "descriptors".
 
If multiple modifiers and descriptors are used, they appear according to the order intended by the speaker based. By a loose convention followed by practically no one, they appear in the following order:
The class Prefix of the noun or verb that the modifier is modifying is attached to the root of the modifier. For example: '''LuBakhilfanya lujikhantalia''' (Gigantic Packilvania) or '''Luashamiliya lurapadin''' (Assimilate(s) quickly). In the case of imperatives whereby the subject of the verb is unclear, the root of the modifier may be used alone, for example: '''Ashamiliya rapadin!''' (Assimilate quickly) If the subject of the verb is known, the class prefix of the subject can be attached to the modifier, for instance: '''Bedu, beenekomimi, berejem berashambalia obeBakhilfanya. Ashamiliya berapadin!''' (You, Nekomimi, must resemble the Packilvanians! Assimilate quickly!)
 
The modifiers appear in the following order:
*Quantity, number, order or frequency
*Quality or opinion.
Line 462 ⟶ 460:
*Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
*Purpose or qualifier.
A noun for example would be as follows: The ten beautiful big old long blue Packilvanian cooking knives is '''vemashat vedekha vepulkhra vemaknir vejener vechuhul velazul veBakhilfaniya vekuyseen'''.
 
A verb for example: Fly once quickly northward everywhere today would be '''Vailnganutevroomboriyaahmnayloqashabatqaku''' in the imperative or '''Luvail lunganute luvroom luboriya luahmanayloqa lushabat''' in the indicative (which implies a subject).
 
====Postpositions=Positionals===
Positional are words which indicate either direction or relation. These words are rarely used because the case marker "we-" performs a universal function as a positional indicator. In the rare and unlikely event that a positional is required, it functions as an ordinary verb or noun depending on context and use and has no special grammatical traits thereto affixed.
The location of the subject, object or instrument relative to another is usually implied by the use of the locative case. However, to specify the relative position, special modifiers called postpositions are used. For example:
 
For example:
*-'''beneyath''': beneath, under or underneath
*-'''ubuv''': above
Line 488 ⟶ 484:
*-'''futar''': after
*-'''far''': far
*
