That last one stretches the grammar by including two adverbials, which probably isn't allowed, though this limits our capacity to express things to a degree I don't like very much.
Then again, I don't like that there is no verbal equivalent to {nom} and {QIt}, since that eliminates the use of adjectives applied to nouns referring to the quality of their velocity. There are no fast ships. There are only ships that go quickly.
But hey, I didn't make this language. It's not my fault.
