D'ni grammar/Adverbs

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

<< b'glotahv D'ni has adverbs, both original or derived from adjectives. Adverbs generally follow the verb they describe, except the temporal ones which precede the verb.

There are a few adverbs attested:

[edit] Mode

• thoe 'how?'
• megörë 'straight (out of)'
• ril 'not'

[edit] Quantity

• blo 'about, approximately'

[edit] Temporal

• gormot 'then'. Maybe gormot is a compound of gor ‘time’ and mot ‘that, which’.
• gormet 'now'. Not attested, but a hypothised compound of gor ‘time’ and met ‘this’.
• gath 'still'
• can 'always'

[edit] Derivation from adjectives

The adverbs can be derived by -sh suffixed to an adjective

• kera 'brave' > kera-sh 'bravely'
• garo 'might' > garo-sh 'mightily'
