<p class="MsoNormal">- A adverb, by definition, is used to specify the manner in which an action is carried out<br>
- The Klingon verb {Da} means "behave as, act in the manner of"<br>
<br>
Taking this into account, wouldn't it make sense to use <noun + Da> to convey the same meaning as an adverb?<br>
<br>
For instance:<br>
He fought bravely: Suv ghaH, yoHwI' Da<br>
He spoke calmy: jatlh ghaH, jotwI' Da<br>
He shouted angrily: jach ghaH, QeHwI' Da<br>
