Quenya/Adverbs

As in all languages Quenya has 2 types of adverbs: basic adverbs adverbs derived from adjectives The basic adverbs are separate words that aren't derived from another word, e.g. `Cw# amba "up, upwards" `Cw$ ambë "more" `Cw$j# ambela "further still beyond" `CzD aqua "full, completely" `C61E arta "etc., et cetera" (lit. and-(and also, then))" 8~B sí "now" There are consequently no rules on how to form them. To make an adjective into an adverb, we use following rules: An adjective on \`C -a gets the ending \yR -vë `C2# anda "long" → `C2$yR andavë "longly" 1UjaD tulca "firm" → 1UjaDyR tulcavë "firmly" 8lDj# saila "wise" → 8lDj#yR sailavë "wisely" In an adjective on \`V -ë this letter is replaced by \`ByR -ivë: t^7R morë "black" → t^7TyR morivë "blackly" 5%2$ nindë "thin" → 5%2%yR nindivë "thinly" t&,R mussë "soft" → t&,GyR mussivë "softly" The ending \yR -vë descends from the ancient elvish root 'be' "as". Therefore, -n + -be = \w$ -mbë: eG7T5 firin "dead" → eG7Tw$ firimbë "deadly" 1R7R5 teren "slender" → 1R7Rw$ terembë "slenderly" The following adjective has an irregular adverb: t~C7E mára "good" → yE2$ vandë "well" >> Neo-Quenya >> ../Adverbs/
