I am somewhat doubtful on that point, owing to the fact that this 

 idea is hardly recognizable in the demonstrative pronouns. 



The great majority of modal adverbs occur with the adverbial suffix 

 of modality -tc (see §§ 25, 36), and are often preceded by the modal 

 prefix «- (see § 24). It is conceivable that this suffix may have been 

 originally adverbial par excellence^ and that it gradually became con- 

 fined to adverbs expressing mode and manner. This opinion may be 

 substantiated by the fact that the adverbial suffix -tc, when added to 

 nouns, expresses other adverbial ideas besides those of modalit3^ It 

 is also suffixed to a number of stems expressing local phrases. 



The following is a complete list of adverbs that have been found in 



Coos:
