:"Causality" means everything regarded as a cause for a certain effect.
:"Causality" means everything regarded as a cause for a certain effect. This terminology sounds still obscure, but Dama language always simplifies things: adverbs are called JENO, which means "use"; every adverb [cv]c-A means "by using the [cv]c" (where [cv]c- is the stem of the word and -A is the adverbial suffix).
*Adverbs primordially express mode or manner; however, according to their pragmatic meaning and the context, they can express everything that adverbs are used for in all languages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverb).
