Any adjective can modify any noun. An adjective must only agree with the noun it modies in case, number and gender; its declension is incidential. And because the noun and adjective may belong to dierent declensions (say, a third declension adjective modifying a rst declension noun), grammatical agreement does not imply into visual agreement. Hence, puellae omnes (nominative plural feminine), manuum magnarum (genitive plural feminine), patres magnos (accusative plural masculine).
