compromise Missing convert adjectives to their original form

There is no method to convert adjectives to their original form.

There are toComparative and toSuperlative methods, but toOriginal (toRoot) is not exposed:

Hey @snowyu you're right - I may have that conjugation model somewhere. I forget why it was excluded from the API - there may have been a good reason. Let me pull it up in Monday and get back to you properly then. Cheers

👍, For me, I need to use it simply to normalize the adjective as well. The conjugate() API is too weird for this usage.

hey @snowyu - I can add a .superlatives().normalize() and a .comparatives().normalize() to the next release, if that would help you. Let me know if that works. cheers

you're looking for this transformation, right? it was the snowiest day ever -> it was the snowy day ever it was snowier than yesterday -> it was snowy than yesterday

Yes, but .superlatives().normalize() is a bit strange, why not .adjectives().normalize() as direct?
