Taking this into account, wouldn't it make sense to use <noun + Da> to convey the same meaning as an adverb?
For instance: He fought bravely: Suv ghaH, yoHwI' Da He spoke calmy: jatlh ghaH, jotwI' Da He shouted angrily: jach ghaH, QeHwI' Da
What do you think?
Sure, why not? But don't regard it as a formula. It's not THE way to describe how something is done; it's A way. You might just as well say *Suv ghaH; yoH. jatlh ghaH; jot. jach ghaH; QeH.* or *Suv; yoHwI' ghaH. jatlh; jotwI' ghaH. jach; QeHwI' ghaH.* or even *SuvtaHvIS ghaH, yoH. jatlhtaHvIS ghaH, jot. jachtaHvIS ghaH, QeH.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
