344. Various Other Endings.—Adverbs have many other endings, e.g.:-α: ἅμα at the same time, μάλα very, τάχα quickly (in Attic prose perhaps). -ακις: πολλάκις many times, often, ἑκαστάκις each time, τοσαυτάκις so often, ὁσάκις as often as, πλειστάκις very often, ὀλιγάκις seldom, πλεονάκις more times. The forms without -ς (ὁσάκι, πολλάκι) are earlier, and -ς has been added by imitation of δίς, τρίς. -δην: συλλήβδην in short. -δον: ἔνδον within, σχεδόν almost. -ει: πανδημεί in full levy (341, locative). -τε: ὅτε when (Aeolic ὄτα, Dor. ὅκα). -τι, -στι: ἐθελοντί voluntarily, Ἑλληνιστί in Greek (fashion).
