the second member, in which case the adverb is a diminutive, as နက်ကျုတ်ကျုတ်, rather black;—by reduplicating both members, as ထူးထူးဆန်းဆန်း extraordinarily;—by prefixing အ or တ to each member reduplicated, as အထူးထူးအဆန်းဆန်း, ditto; တလည်လည်တဝိုက်ဝိုက်, circuitously;—by prefixing က or ပ (pronounced ဂ and ဗ) to each member, as ကရောက်ကရက်, disorderly, ပရုန်းပရင်း, tumultuously.
Under this head may be classed a few of anomalous construction, made up in imitation of some of the above forms, as အမှတ်တမဲ့, without notice, အစိုးတရ, as having power, ကြောက်လန့်တကြား, frightedly, အတျွေးအငမ်း, in expectance of payment; also a few formed from negatives, by affixing chiming increments, as မကောင်းတရောင်း, not well, မလှတမ, not handsome, not agreeable.
4. Adverbs formed from verbal roots, by reduplication, prefixing the negative မ to the first member, and တ to the second, thus intending to convey both the ideas of affirming, and denying, as မလောက်တလောက်, just enough, and hardly that, မမှီတမှီ, just reaching, and yet not quite reaching.
5. Adverbs formed from nouns by reduplication, dropping the syllabic အ, in the latter member, if it is the initial of the noun, and prefixing it to the former member, if the noun begins with a consonant, as အခါခါ, repeatedly, from အခါ, a time; အလိုလို, of one's own accord, from အလို, will, pleasure; အသောင်းသောင်း, thousands, from အသောင်း, ten thousand; အပြည်ပြည် of various countries, or from country to country, from ပြည်, a country.
N. B. Adverbs formed from verbs or nouns are sometimes used adjectively, as အပြားပြားသောအကြောင်းတို့, various reasons, အပြည်ပြည်သောမင်းတို့, kings of sundry or all countries.
6. Adverbs formed from nouns, beginning with a syllabic အ, by dropping the အ, prefixing တ, one, and affixing တည်း, only, as တညီတညီ, even, all together, from အညီ, evenness, uniformity.
