In Pomorian adverbs have the basic stem of their corresponding adjectives and are not inflected (though they have three degree of comparison just like adjectives). Adverbs can have only an indefinite (non-pronominal) form. A lot of Pomorian adverbs are formed by replacing an adjectival ending with ''-ė'' or ''-au''. For examle: ''lėpe'' (good) - ''lėpau'' (well). Some adverbs are derived from nouns, but probably from adjectives which were derived from nouns: ''kalna'' (high place, mountain; noun) - pakalne (being from the height; adjective) - pakalnė (downwards, downhill; adverb). Some are derived from other adverbs: ''ligė'' (being fine, allowed; adverb) - neligė (not well; adverb) - perneligė (too much; adverb). Some are very old and not comparable, they are not derived from anything: ''ba'' and ''bu'' (even), ''šiet'' (here), ''tuo'' (there), ''kė'' (how, so), ''juo'' (already), ''doli'' (far), dovė (long ago) and ''tali'' (only). The word ''doli'' also has a comparable doublet ''dolė''. | |||
