If we limit our consideration to primitive adverbs, and if we look at their frequence of use in dirtree '*.ijs' files (with require'dir'), I get the following counts: 4701 / 3645 ~ 1562 \ 1245 } 198 f. 179 \. 138 b. 78 /. 6 t: 4 M. 1 t. If we also include primitive conjunctions (recognizing that every conjunction may be used as an adjective), I get: 17239 " 10714 : 7015 & 6049 @ 2359 !: 1524 ` 934 ;. 896 &. 680 @: 585 ^: 420 :: 400 . 200 @. 120 !. 69 .. 32 :. 32 &: 29 L: 17 S: 15 `: 15 &.: 8 .: 4 H. 4 D. 2 d. 1 T. 1 D: Presumably the more frequently occurring primitives deserve some consideration, as potential "hotspots".
