-=====Adverbial pronouns=====
-Adverbial pronouns indicate how an action is performed or in what state something is. They are also used to refer to abstract things (discourse deixis).
-Adverbial pronouns are always grammatically feminine. The default adverbial pronouns is ''si'' "like; the way/manner/consition of –", which must occur as the head of a nominal phrase. The instrumental ''sii'' "like –; in the way of –; –ly" is used when describing actions.
-:e.g. ''care si'' "an angry way; angrily"; ''shari si'' "like a dog; the way of a dog" (notice that ''shara'' "dog" is in the genitive)
-::''Usú <b>shari si</b>.'' "He is '''like a dog'''." (lit.: "He is '''the way of a dog'''.")
-::''<b>Care sis</b> galé.'' "He entered '''angrily'''." (lit.: "He entered '''in an angry way'''.")
-::''<b>Shari sis</b> galé.'' "He entered '''like a dog'''." (lit.: "He entered '''in the way of a dog'''.")
-There are also proximal and distal adverbial pronouns: ''sina'' "like this; this way; this (abstract)" and ''soona'' "like that; that way; that (abstract)". They decline as the distal demonstrative.
-:e.g. ''Atú <b>soona</b>'' "You are '''like that'''"; ''<b>Sinas</b> ardi'' "Run '''like this'''"
-::''Mábaxta? <b>Soona</b> qabá.'' "Are you leaving?" "I have to (do '''that''')." (lit.: "I must '''like that'''.)
