I'll probably be shouted down here, but I think "fasnyvla seltau" would be "adverb" The problem is, of course, that what exactly and "adverb" *is* covers a gigantically wide range of things. Here is MW11's defintion: "a word belonging to one of
the major form classes in any of numerous languages, typically serving as a
modifier of a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a preposition, a phrase, a
clause, or a sentence, expressing some relation of manner or quality, place,
time, degree, number, cause, opposition, affirmation, or denial, and in English
also serving to connect and to express comment on clause content — compare
adjunct,
conjunct,
disjunct"
So, basically, the one thing that it CAN'T modify is a noun.

How would you say "adverb" in Lojban? Would a Lojban grammarian describing
English consider "then" to belong to the same part of speech as adverbs formed
from adjectives? What about "then" and "there"?
