§ 3 Adverbs
Adverbs may be formed from adjectives by prefixing en, which generally changes the initial to the second state. Thus glan, pure, en ’lan, purely. There are some exceptions to this change, b and m sometimes change to f, not v, bras, great, en fras, greatly; mas, good, en fas, well; d sometimes changes to the fourth state, da, good, en ta, well; and t sometimes remains unchanged, tin, sharp, en tin, sharply. But we find also en dhiugel, certainly, from diugel, secure.
