- Without a noun or nouns.
- 1997, Alan Dean, Chaos and Intoxication:
- ...a nameless delight or terror, unattached to any delightful or dreadful thing, a potent adjective floating in a nounless void, a pure quality.
- 2003, Mark C Baker, Lexical Categories: Verbs, Nouns, and Adjectives:
- A nounless language would not have an exact equivalent of English's the child, but it might get along quite well with constructions like the childlike one.
