    Note

    A comparative built with the suffix -er rather than with more. Two-syllable adjectives ending in -ow, like yellow, regularly take the inflected form, so yellower is the usual choice. The full series runs yellow, yellower, yellowest. The spelling simply adds the ending: nothing doubles and nothing drops, because the final w closes a vowel sound rather than standing as a consonant.
