Note
A one-syllable adjective normally takes the suffix, so -er is the regular comparative here, and weirdest is its superlative partner. What gets compared is the modern strangeness of weird, as in odder or more bizarre. The archaic senses tied to the Fates or to witchcraft describe a kind of thing rather than a degree of it. A weirder noise is a stranger one, never a more fated one.
