Very plausible, as was the suggestion that it modifies the verb.
An adverb might also modify an adjective. In all three cases,
the nice neat order-of-evaluation of predicates which SOV/RPN
seemed to promise, vanishes. The parallel with machine language,
where a programmer does "push arg1, push arg2, call(2) subroutine"
does not seem to hold, because once the subroutine is called
it can no longer be modifed; though its results can.
