| May 26, 2014 at 13:40 | comment | added | user230 | @LucianSava Oh! I'm sorry, I thought percipient was (only) an adjective, so I didn't realize you were trying for nouns specifically. I see now that dictionaries say it's a noun, too! (I don't see any indication that the question is asking for a noun, but I s'pose someone could ask the OP and find out!) | |
| May 26, 2014 at 13:37 | comment | added | Lucian Sava | @Snailplane, sorry but I'm afraid I can’t do that. Perceptive was my first reaction but I couldn’t find to be defined as a noun, all dictionaries define it only as adjective, and I think OP asks for a noun. | |
