AK>> You mean that there is no adjective "coward"?
AK>> Here for instance,
AK>> https://www.dictionary.com/browse/coward
AK>> PS: And in general, it is an English feature that almost every
AK>> word can perform every part of speech.
DH> I've never seen the word used as an adjective. I suspect it's an
DH> archaic usage. The Cambridge dictionary doesn't define it as an
DH> adjective (listing only "cowardly"), same for Merriam-Webster,
DH> Collins, and the Britannica Dictionary. The Oxford dictionary shows
DH> it used an adjective but last used in 1818!
Coward is a noun. Amen! ;-)
