One turn of phrase for which I have so far not found
a satisfactory rendering is "as ... as she could",
"as ... as possible", and similars. For example:

"The Rabbit started violently, dropped the white kid
gloves and the fan, and skurried away into the darkness as hard
as he could go."

I translate it as:

i le ractu cu suksa se jenca gi'e falcru lei blabi ke kanba
gluta e le bifpra gi'e bajra mo'ine'i le manku rai le ka sutra

But I'm not sure this is quite right. Any ideas?
