Shy gypsy slyly spryly tryst by my crypt

Cry, my crwth; Slyly ply thy gypsy rhythms.
Wry myth, spry nymphs, shy trysts spy thy hymns.
Sky & cwm fly twyndyllyngly
By thy pygmy syzygy

twyndyllyngly?

[learnedax.livejournal.com]

Mm-hmm. Why?

(It's beyond merely archaic, but I like it... I don't think the adverb is actually found anywhere, but twyndyllyng is.)

What would you say the adverb form of 'twin' is? 'Twinly'?

[learnedax.livejournal.com]

Hm, I see your point, it doesn't really work. Twinly would really be the adjectival form, which is I suppose the role it serves here, albeit in a rather odd way. The adverb would have to be something like "twinnishly"
