The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language suggests three tests of adjectivity, reprised at User:Visviva/POS testing#Ed. Needless to say, the data set is rather sparse; nonetheless the data seems to support adjective status.
Adjectives take un- in the sense of "not" rather than reversal. B.g.c. gives two unique hits for "unmachicolated", both of which appear to clearly mean "not machicolated": google books:unmachicolated
I was unable to find any case of unambiguous use with the telltale verbs seem, appear, look and remain, but am inclined to attribute this to the sparseness of the data. -- Visviva19:01, 24 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
As the citations show existence and this is a question of grammar rather than attestation, can we now consider this passed?—msh210℠19:08, 24 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
