used in comparisons of superiority:
- ADJ-er than
- more ADJ / ADV / N(s) than
and in comparisons of inferiority
- less ADJ / ADV / N than
- fewer Ns than
There is no equivalent morpheme to -er for comparisons of inferiority. The structure not as ADJ as compensates for this missing grammatical possibility.
