Using γͺ-adjectives to describe verbs
Describe verbs
Adverbs are words you use to describe verbs or adjectives. In the English sentence He runs quickly, quickly is the adverb, as it describes how he runs.
To use γͺ-adjectives as adverbs, you simply add γ« to them.

ει‘γζ ιγ«γγ§γγ―γγ¦γγ γγγ

Special Note
One could argue that these are not "true" adverbs in a technical sense, but for simplicity's sake, we will categorize them as such.
