In linguistics is there a term parallel to “nominal” referring to a category used to group together verbs and adjectives based on shared properties?

I don’t know of one; in fact what I’ve seen is linguists call adjectives in Asian languages verbs, to deal with the commonalities. Stative verbs, if you make it more precise.

In fact, whether adjectives are real as a cross-linguistic category is a legit question.
