Adverbs formed from adjectives use kəl-/kəL-(moon) or kəC-(sun) followed by the masculine sg. form of the adjective. An alternative construction for adverbs, common in written language, is ''be treò'' [ADJ.m.sg] or ''be sliġe'' /bəʃliːjə/ [ADJ.f.sg], from ''be'' 'instrumental' + Irish ''treo'' 'direction'/''sliġe'' 'way'.
