The periphrastic superlative is the only option with most pseudo-participles, such as the following, regardless of whether the Adposition Phrase (PP) which they select is overtly realized:

1
Meast ynnommen (mei)
Most favourably disposed (to)
*Ynnommenst (mei)
Most favourably disposed (to)
Mear fereale (op)
Most enamoured (of)
*Ferealst (op)
Most enamourd (of)

Some other pseudo-participles allow both options:

2
Meast bekend (mei)
Most familiar (with)
Bekendst (mei)
Most familiar (with)
Meast benaud (foar)
Most afraid (of)
Benaudst (foar)
Most afraid (of)
