And in those exceptional cases where Adverbs do not end in ''-ly'', they generally have the same form as the corresponding Adjective, as with ''hard'', ''fast , etc.

  • (medicine) of inflammation, producing new tissue
  • Usage notes

    In English, the plural suffix “-es” is productive' because it can be appended to an open set of words (singular nouns ending in sibilants). Thus, if a new word with that pattern becomes an English noun (e.g. *''examplex''), it would have a default plural (e.g. *''examplexes'') because “-es” is ' productive .
