Alright, so I just wanted to provide everyone with the use of 'ni-' (what turns nouns and adjectives into adverbs). If any of these examples are wrong, please feel free to correct me.

Father (Sempul)
Fatherly (Ni-sempul)

Brain (Eltu)
Brainy (Ni-eltu)

Body (Tokx)
Bodily (Ni-tokx)

Nouns and adjectives into adverbs.  I can't think of a verb I've seen paired with nì- (which of course is hardly definitive at this point).

QuoteBody (Tokx)
Bodily (Ni-sokx)

The nì- prefix does not cause lenition.

Made the appropriate corrections, thanks Will.

And may the force be with you.

Oops!  Now I can.

nìtam enough from tam suffice, be enough.
