3rd declension adjectives in -ης, ες

Some adjectives, like some nouns, have a stem which ended in εσ-, that is to say they should have an  σ before the normal 3rd declension ending. But the -s is dropped and contraction takes place::

But they drop that σ and contract the meeting vowels according to the by now well-known pattern:

• As example of unstressed -ης, -ες I've taken: full of  πλήρης, πλῆρες 
  skin full of wine, basket full of grapes, tray (of offerings) full of other goods

• And as example of stressed -ής, -ές I've taken: true, real  ἀληθής, ἀληθές
