I recently edited this page to say that brillig is a noun, not an adjective, and it was almost immediately reverted. Doesn't its definition ("four o'clock in the afternoon") mean that it has to be a noun? "Noon" and "midnight" are nouns, and the comparative and superlative forms of the adjective (more brillig, most brillig) make no sense at all: "more four o'clock," "most four o'clock." The plural "brilligs" generated by the template is admittedly odd, but the plural of noon is "noons," after all. I request that my change to noun be allowed to stand.
