Attributive & Predicative

h hu< nea=	the red sky (not other skies)	h hu> nea=	the reddening sky (not other skies)
h nea= h= hu<	the sky, which is red	h nea= h= hu>	the sky, which reddens

Adjectives have the same right as verbs and don’t need any copula; when following substantives, they are (non-restrictive) predicative; when followed by substantives, they are (restrictive) attributive.
