Adjective: Relating to the area around the Amazon River in South America (e.g., the Amazon Basin, the Amazon Rainforest). Looks like attributive use of the proper noun. I doubt that this can be shown to be a true adjective. DCDuring TALK 16:56, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Cleaned up. Since the editor gave examples of what they had in mind, and those examples aren't adjective uses, I don't think we really need an RFV to determine whether there are other adjective uses that aren't what the editor had in mind. —Ruakh_TALK 17:14, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
