2. Adverbs may be formed from any Adjective by putting it in the Terminative case. བཟང་ ‘good’, བཟང་ ‘well’; རབ་ ‘principal’, རབ་ ‘principally, very’; དྲག་ ‘violent’, དྲག་ or དྲག་ ‘violently’.
3. Nearly all the local Adverbs are formed from Substantives or Pronouns with some local Postposition: གོང་ ‘the place (space) above, upper part’, གོང་ ‘above’, གོང་ ‘upwards’, གོང་ ‘from above (downwards)’; འདི་ ‘this’, འདི་ ‘in this, here’, འདི་, འདིར་ ‘hither, here’ (cf. [15.]), འདི་ ‘hence’; དེ་ ‘that’, དེ་ ‘there’, དེ་, དེར་ ‘thither, there’, དེ་ ‘from there, thence, then, after that’. [[67]]
Note. In talking the simple adjective is used, mostly, instead of its adverb (2. class): མགྱོགས་ for —པར་ ‘quickly, soon’.
Chapter VIII.
The Postposition.
43. There are two kinds of Postpositions: 1. Simple Postpositions. These are the same that we know already as forming the cases ([15]). 2. Compound Postpositions, formed in the manner of local Adverbs ([42. 3]), with which they are, indeed, with a few exceptions, identical.
1. Simple Postpositions. These are: ལ་ (the affix of the Dative), ན་ (Locative), ནས་ and ལས་ (Ablative), རུ་, ར་, སུ་, ཏུ་, དུ་ (Terminative).
Their use will be best seen in the following examples:
