   Hi, Anton Shepelev!   
   I read your message from 23.08.2024 15:20   
      
   ak>>   An English joke -- "Englishmen are the most coward   
   ak>>   people. If they ask something they always say 'I am   
   ak>>   afraid'". ;-)   
      
   as> `cowardly'.   
      
   You mean that there is no adjective "coward"?   
      
   Here for instance,   
   https://www.dictionary.com/browse/coward   
      
   PS: And in general, it is an English feature that almost every word can   
   perform every part of speech.   
      
   Bye, Anton!
