An Adverb is a word that attendeth upon the Verb,
and signifieth the quality of the action, by Extension, Diminution,
Rectitude, Curvation, Duration, Cessation, etc.
according to the various qualities of all sorts of actions.
Adverbs do usually end in (|e| or |u|), as |wame| or |wamu|,
(All): |Menuhke| or |Menuhku|, (Strongly).
The several sorts of Adverbs (according as Learned
Grammarians have gathered them together) are
1. Of time. |Yeuyeu|, {Now}. |Wunnonkou|, {Yesterday}.
|Saup|, {Tomorrow}. |Ahquompak|, {When}. |Paswu|, {Lately}. |Nôadtuk|, {A long time}. |Teanuk|, {Presently}. |Kuttumma|,
{Very lately}.
2. Of place. |Uttiyeu|, {Where}. |Naut|, {There}. |Anomut|,
{Within}. |Woskeche|, {Without}. |Onkoue|, {Beyond.}
|Negonnu|, {First}. |Wuttát|, {Behind.}
3. Of order. |Negonnu|, {First}. |Nahohtôeu|, {Second.}

sometimes signifieth {No}. They have no Adverbs of
Swearing, nor any Oath, that I can yet find: only
we teach them to Swear before a Magistrate {By the great

for swearing, signifieth {to speak vehemently}.
