Adjectivisation

Adjectivisation is a term that Cometan coined post-omnidoxically to refer to the process in which Cometan's name was transformed into an adjective, namely Cometanic as well as the adverb Cometanically.

This type of adjectivisation process has occurred in relation to other historical figures, namely including the following figures:

  • Cometan (Cometanic)

  • Plato (Platonic)

  • Socrates (Socratic)

  • Pythagoras (Pythagorean)

  • Confucius (Confucian)

  • Aristotle (Aristotelian)
