Interesting. It would be nice to supplement the comments Okrand made in
HolQeD 4.4:
"The word for 'dishonorably' is {batlhHa'}. This is clearly the adverbial
{batlh} 'in an honored fashion' plus a suffix {-Ha'}, which might be
analyzed as the negative suffix that follows verbs or else as a suffix
identical in form (and meaning?) to it, but which appears with adverbials.
Whether this {-Ha'} can be added to all adverbials is not clear. The
notes taken while working with Maltz indicate that he balked at {vajHa'}
(not thus?) but accepted {Do'Ha'} 'unfortunately'. Information on other
adverbials has not yet been uncovered, though it is probably in the notes
somewhere."
What other adverbials did you two discuss? Do you still have the list?
