Examples
“In some languages, a noun cannot modify⟳ another noun by being placed right next to it (like⟳ an adjective); for such languages a noun might have⟳ a corresponding relational adjective (obtained from the noun by some morphological adjustment) which can modify⟳ another noun. For example, in the English expression architectural heritage, "architectural" does not refer⟳ to a property or quality; it expresses a relationship to the corresponding noun "architecture". For languages which do allow⟳ direct⟳ adjective-like modification of a noun by another noun, they might have⟳ relational adjectives anyway, for example, due to borrowing them from the former type⟳ of languages.”
