And here is the one that inspired the verb topic! A very interesting read (hope this works)

I’m curious what other ones there could be. Adverbs: Merrily and Brightly maybe.

A few more adverbs
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f]
[name_u]Truly[/name_u]
[name_u]Early[/name_u]
Bravely
[name_f]Verily[/name_f]
[name_m]Daily[/name_m]
[name_m]Just[/name_m]

I speak Croatian and there are some names which are also adjectives, like

Divna - wonderful
[name_f]Mirna[/name_f] - peaceful
SunÄŤana - sunny
Vesela - cheerful
