I think I isolated this before, it is not recorded anywhere as an adjective, including the Norwegian site, only as a noun; see the Bokmål and Nynorsk entries. I think I wrote the usage notes a while back. DonnanZ (talk) 10:03, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- For Dutch too lexical sources uniformly consider the word to be a noun, but terms like “een albino konijn” have become common in everyday use. This may have occurred by influence from English. Wiktionary tries to handle words descriptively, not prescriptively, so also listing the word as a Dutch adjective is proper. I don’t know anything about actual Scandinavian usage. --Lambiam 17:36, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- I merged the "adjective" with albino (Bokmål) and albino (Nynorsk) as a noun modifier, so nothing has been lost. Struck and rfd withdrawn. DonnanZ (talk) 10:53, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
