A Complete Grammar of Esperanto by Ivy Kellerman Reed
page 122 of 486 (25%)
La bukedo falis eksteren kaj suben,
the bouquet fell out and underneath.
Li estis marsxanta hejmen, he was walking home (homeward).

[Footnote: The adverb may precede the verb and be united with it by
simple juxtaposition, if the resulting word is not too long: "Li
hejmeniris", he went home (he "home-went"). "Ni antauxeniros", we
shall advance (go forward). "La bukedo subenfalis", the bouquet fell
underneath.]


THE SUFFIX "-EG-".

122. The suffix "-eg-" may be added to a root to augment or intensify
its meaning, thus forming an "augmentative" of the root:

barelego, hogshead (from "barelo", barrel).
bonega, excellent (from "bona", good).
malbonege, wickedly, wretchedly (from "malbone", badly, poorly).
domego, mansion (from "domo", house).
