04.11.24: level 2; degrees of comparison [2]; comparative in -ior, -ius (1); 1st / 2nd declension adjectives

Positive

longus, -a, -um │ long

Comparative

long¦ior (masculine / feminine),  longIUS (neuter) │ longer

Adjectives ending in -er e.g. pulcher, pulchra, pulchrum remove the -a from the feminine i.e. pulchr- before adding the ending > pulchr¦ior

Therefore, some grammar books will simply say remove the -a of the feminine of all 1st / 2nd declension adjectives.
