RE: adverb suffixes???
Clayton Cardoso:
> Why couldn't I use verb suffixes to the adverbs?
pagh:
: The same reason you can't use noun suffixes on verbs - the grammar just
: doesn't allow it. We do know that some adverbials can take <-Ha'>, but
: that's it. I don't remember the exact list, but I know it includes
: <batlhHa'>, <Do'Ha'>, and <pIjHa'>.
Also <ghaytanHa'> and <nItebHa'>.
Okrand discussed this question in HolQeD 4.4:
"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."
