- plus mov- plus the adjective ending, and it means what it looks like. The construction is worth noticing because Esperanto builds adjectives from prepositions freely: , senhoma for deserted, for innocent, senfina for endless. English needs a different suffix for each of those. There is also the adverb , which is often the better choice after a verb of posture - describes how he stood, while describes him. Both are correct, and Esperanto writers use them almost interchangeably.
