swiftly
| Morphological Notes | Adverb; neuter singular nominative/accusative form of ταχύς used adverbially to denote manner (rapidly, promptly). |
| Rendering Rationale | "Swiftly" directly reflects the root ταχυ- (swift, fast) and preserves its adverbial force, expressing action performed in a rapid or prompt manner without delay. As an adverbial neuter form, it modifies the manner of action rather than describing a noun. |
