The birds were flying swiftly.

Adverbs are usually derived from adjectives with the segunak -wan. This follows the degree of comparison, when present.

These birds fly more swiftly.

When an adverb is used to qualify a predicate adjective, it takes a participle segunak. This is usually the past participle -osht', but if the adjective is itself a present participle, the present participle segunak -ont is used.

Pronouns

The first, second and proximate third personal pronouns of Khangaþyagon are formed as y+person, where the person ending is the same as that for verbs. They may take the same segunakar as nouns, with the exception of modsegunakar (deixis doesn't make much sense with pronouns). There is also an obviate third person pronoun, de, and a reflexive pronoun, ansidi. See the syntax section for more on the usage of pronouns.

Conjunctions

Conjunctions in Khangaþyagon have a very strong tendency to be palindromic, eg

beb

gog

or
