Only the adjective -pya takes the prefix ji- in class V; its form is jipya. Some adjective starting with a vowel take j-, while possessive adjectives are irregular and take l-. Other adjectives take no prefix.
Nouns with a stem of more than one syllable and starting with a consonant get a zero prefix to form the augmentative:
