I think you're right: you can't use a verb adverbially like this. Nothing
like it is given to us. There really isn't a simple way to makeadverbs in
Klingon; not one that we know, at any rate (though there are ways to move
in that direction, using stuff like "mIw XXX lo'taHvIS" or "...-meH mIw
XXXX lo'")
