Compounds consisting of two verbal stems are quite common. In 

 all of these the first stem appears as qualifier of the second stem.

§ 119» Adverbial Composition 



Intransitive verbs are combined with verbal stems in the same 

 manner as they are with nouns, and then assume adverbial functions. 

 Stems expressing modality, quality, quantity, appear frequently in 

 this position. The forms are quite analogous to those treated in 

 § 116.3.
