Adverbs!
Em Lakondê, o advérbio é uma classe fechada, que apresenta um número extremamente limitado de itens considerados como primitivos adverbiais. Grande parte dos conceitos expressos nas línguas Indo-Européias como advérbios correspondem a formas verbais em Lakondê, as quais podem apresentar o uso com função adverbial, enquanto advérbios deverbais.
Lakondê adverbs are a closed class with an extremely limited number of members which may be considered adverbial primitives. Most of the concepts expressed in Indo-European languages which are considered adverbs, would be verbs with an adverbial function in Lakondê, enquanto advérbios deverbais.

and behave like deverbal adverbs
"deverbal" = "formed/derived from a verb", if I remember rightly.
"Enquanto" = "as", but that makes little sense on its own so I think we need to express it slightly differently. They're not *actually* adverbs, of course - she's just told us they're verb forms - but what she seems to be saying is that they behave in the same way that deverbal adverbs would.
Also
Lakondê adverbs are a closed class with an extremely limited number of members which may be considered adverbial primitives. Most of the concepts **expressed with/by means of adverbs** in Indo-European languages correspond to verb forms in Lakonde which can be used as adverbs and behave like deverbal adverbs."
The concepts aren't *considered* to be adverbs in Indo-European languages - they're expressed *by means of* them.

Or "expressed *as* adverbs", of course - but the meaning's the same either way.
