Adverbs in Worrorra modify predicates at nuclear, core and peripheral levels. Nuclear- and peripheral-level adverbs are discussed in §10.1, while core-level or modal adverbs are discussed in §10.2. In addition, §10.3 looks at some demonstrative adverbs used to locate events in space, §10.4 at some adverbs used to locate events at specific times, and §10.5 at a couple of interrogative adverbs. §10.6 will survey a number of very frequently encountered suffixes and postpositions attached to nouns, that form phrases or phrasal words functioning as de-nominal adverbs.

A number of important adverbs are enclitic on preceding material. A small number of aspectual morphemes are encliticized to preverbs, with scope over a complex predicate: these are -mirri ‘quickly,’ -je, -ji ‘again,’ and -biji ‘repeatedly’ (§10.1.1 (iii)). Of these, -mirri attaches only to preverbs, and -je and -biji attach to both preverbs and finite verbs. Sentence examples showing the use of -je/-ji may be seen at (10.15a, 10.61c) and (15.10f), and those showing the use of -mirri may be seen at (8.26b) and (8.28b). The clause-linking morpheme -maade ‘so, result’ (§8.2.4) is found after preverbs and also after nouns, deictics, adjectives in preverbal position, and most frequently after finite verbs. The enclitics -nyini ‘endpoint, until’ (§10.1.2 (v)), and -nyale ‘next in sequence’ (§10.6.4 (i)) appear to be unrestricted in their distribution, attaching to members of nearly every lexical category.
