For this, Okrand suggested using suffixes:

My interpretation of "desperate" in the third sentence ("You were 
desperate to save us") is a little different. Here I think it means 
something more like "eager for, longing for, in real need of, having a 
great desire for" and so on.  For this, you could get by with the 
suffixes {-nIS} and {-qu'}: {jutoDnISqu'} (or {chetoDnISqu'}; or perhaps 
with {neHqu'}: {jutoD DaneHqu'} (or {chetoD boneHqu'}).
