Well, if English were less idiomatic, 'with' wouldn't have the countless meanings it
currently has... And I wouldn't assign '-fully' to all its meanings. Not unless
you were trying to immitate Tzeltal somehow, with its single preposition <ta>
:) ... You might have: 'man gunfully', 'went to the movies herfully', 'boy
brown hairfully' etc. :)
