The equative can occur in the partitive construction. This is shown in the example below:

1
Do hast wat nijsgjirrich-s ferteld en ik ha wat like nijsgjirrichs as dy ferteld
you have something interesting.PA told and I have something equally interesting.PA as you told
You have told something very interesting, and I have told you something that was equally interesting as the thing you told me

The example also shows that the equative complement may be present in the partitive adjective construction. Nevertheless, such examples, though grammatical, are very infrequent in actual usage.
