Sinusitis ?!!?

No, Anon, sinusitis can not be used as an adj, and I don't think sinusitis can be very fine and slender.

Does your word begin with 'capi'? And do a couple of rather slender-looking Ls come next?

Exactly, Yankee. The answer is CAPILLARY.

Congrats! You pick the next one please! Smile

OK, the next word is a 6-letter plural noun.

A plural noun like people or children? Or a plural noun because it has an S on it?

Is it used for people? For animals?

The last letter is S.

These things are neither human nor animal.

EDIT:
It is actually possible to use this word as the third person singular of a verb. In that case, a person could do it. But the most common meaning of the plural noun is quite different from the meaning of the verb.
