Superlative
From Sereer wiki

Superlatives are identical to comparatives, but have only one noun argument. All superlatives include the same verb moj ‘to be a lot’.
In the case of the adjective ‘good’ specifically, the lexical-content adjective can even be omitted, and moʄ can alone put across the meaning of superlative goodness:
okiin omoju xe wiin moju we okiin omoju faax xe wiin moju we mbaax ‘the best person’ 'the best people'
okiin oxe moj na wiin we moj na okiin oxe moj na faax wiin we moj na mbaax ‘the person that is best’ 'the people that are best'
