===Adjectives=== Adjectives could belong to all four accent classes in Old Lithuanian (now they can only belong to classes 3 and 4). Additional remnants of i-stem adjectives still existed, e.g.: * loc. sg. {{lang|olt|didimè pulkè}} 'in the big crowd' (now {{lang|lt|didžiame}}) * loc. sg. ''gerèsnime'' 'better' (now ''geresniamè'') * loc. sg. ''mažiáusime'' 'smallest' (now ''mažiáusiame'') Additional remnants of u-stem adjectives still existed, e.g. ''rūgštùs'' 'sour': {| class="wikitable" |- ! Case !! Newer !! Older |- | Inst sg || rūgščiù || rūgštumı̇̀ |- | Loc sg || rūgščiamè || rūgštumè |- | Gen pl || rūgščių̃ || rūgštų̃ |- | Acc pl || rū́gščius || rū́gštus |- | Inst pl || rūgščiaı̇̃s || rūgštumı̇̀s |} No u-stem remnants existed in the dative singular and locative plural. Definite adjectives, originally involving a pronoun suffixed to an adjective, had not merged into a single word in Old Lithuanian. Examples: * ''pa-jo-prasto'' 'ordinary' (now ''pàprastojo'') * ''nu-jie-vargę'' 'tired' (now ''nuvar̃gusieji'')
