If a two syllable adj ends in y then it would be Anglo saxon: -iest - happy - happiest, funny - funniest. Any two syllable adjective which ends in another letter will take the latin: most.... as a general rule

Errata: Two syllable words depend on the last letter of the word, if it ends in y it takes the Anglo Saxon form, if it doesn't end in y it takes the Latin form
