使用する際の注意点

Most adjectives with this ending were not formed in English, but were taken from Latin (or French). In Latin, the ending -ālis (whence English -al) had the alternative form -āris (whence English -ar), which was often used when the base word contained l. The use of -al or -ar is inconsistent:

• While words like formular, fibular, capsular, and bulbar follow the Latin norm, words like molal, phylal, salmonellal, and zooxanthellal do not.
• Some words show variation between -al and -ar, such as lobar and lobal, acinar and acinal; variation also existed in Latin, as with Latin līneāris and hence English linear vs Latin līneālis and hence English lineal.

However, the ending -al is always used if the last l in the base word is followed by r, e.g. cultural, scleral, microfloral, pleural, loral, labral (compare glomerular, where the last l in glomerulus is not followed by r). The ending also appears in the extended forms -ial and -ual, as in manorial and eventual.

If the base word ends:

• with us, um or a, it is dropped (e.g. viral, from virus; bronchial (New Latin bronchiālis), from bronchium; corneal from cornea);
• with er / re (mostly derived from the Latin ending -rum), the e is dropped (e.g. membral, from member (Latin membrum); central, from center/centre (Latin centrum)); or
• with a consonant + le (mostly derived from the Latin endings -ulus, -ulum, -ula), the latter usually changes to ul (e.g. muscular, from muscle (Latin mūsculus); vehicular, from vehicle (Latin vehiculum); arbuscular, from arbuscle (Latin arbuscula)).

As a nominalizer, some verbs have two corresponding nouns, one ending in -al and the other in -tion/-sion (more common suffix), with one or the other being more common, sometimes with different nuances. Notable examples: disposition/disposal (dispose), proposition/proposal (propose), submission/submittal (submit), transmission/transmittal (transmit). Some superficial pairs are actually of different origin, notably reversion/reversal (respectively related to revert and reverse).

Final silent ⟨e⟩ is dropped before this suffix, e.g. casal, from case.
