Strange

But the unforgettable ceremony did not end there. My country friends took off their hats and began a strange dance, hopping on one foot around the abandoned skull, moving in the ring of footprints left behind by the many others who had passed there before them. Dimly I understood, there by the side of my inscrutable companions, that there was a kind of link between unknown people, a care, an appeal and an answer even in the most distant and isolated solitude of this world.

Everyone is equally strange. If you think someone is normal, you just don't know them well enough yet. The total absence of so called strangeness would in and of itself BE strange. Which is strange that the absence of something would mean its presence. A paradox.

In English, there are three degrees of adjectives. These three degrees are used to express intensity or strength of quality.

To create the regular comparative form, the suffix »-er« is added to the base or positive form. To create the regular superlative, the suffix »-est« is added.

These are the degrees of strangeness:

positive: strange

comparative: stranger

superlative: strangest

The comparative and superlative can also be created by the addition of »more« or »most« respectively to the positive form:

positive: strange

comparative: more strange

superlative: most strange

And here it may be remarked, that between this boy and the dwarf that existed a strange kind of mutual liking.
