Adjectives used as adnominal modifiers may share some but not necessarily all categories with their head nouns. For instance, in Veps, a comitative head noun is preceded by an adnominal property word in its genitive form (example 1). While Veps shows non-agreement only in some parts of the paradigm, there are languages like Mari (see example 2) that do not show any agreement between a modifier and the head noun at all.

Coding

The value is '1' in both cases, i.e., when non-agreement is attested only in some parts of the paradigm as well as when there is no agreement within noun phrases at all. The value is '0' if agreement across the paradigm is obligatory.
