From #32

Here are the words lemmatised as ταχύ

61-Mt-morphgnt.txt:012807 A- ----ASN- ταχὺ ταχὺ ταχύ ταχύ
61-Mt-morphgnt.txt:012808 A- ----ASN- ταχὺ ταχὺ ταχύ ταχύ
62-Mk-morphgnt.txt:020939 A- ----ASN- ταχὺ ταχὺ ταχύ ταχύ
64-Jn-morphgnt.txt:041129 A- ----ASN- ταχὺ ταχὺ ταχύ ταχύ
87-Re-morphgnt.txt:270216 D- -------- ταχύ, ταχύ ταχύ ταχύ
87-Re-morphgnt.txt:270311 D- -------- ταχύ· ταχύ ταχύ ταχύ
87-Re-morphgnt.txt:271114 D- -------- ταχύ. ταχύ ταχύ ταχύ
87-Re-morphgnt.txt:272207 D- -------- ταχύ· ταχύ ταχύ ταχύ
87-Re-morphgnt.txt:272220 D- -------- ταχύ. ταχύ ταχύ ταχύ

If they are adjectives, they should be lemmatized as ταχύς like:

61-Mt-morphgnt.txt:010525 A- ----ASN- ταχὺ ταχὺ ταχύ ταχύς
63-Lk-morphgnt.txt:031522 A- ----ASN- ⸀Ταχὺ Ταχὺ ταχύ ταχύς
87-Re-morphgnt.txt:272212 A- ----ASN- ταχύ, ταχύ ταχύ ταχύς

This could involve either a lemma change OR tagging change as appropriate.

I haven't looked at any of the instances, but I seem to recall that some of them are preceded by the preposition E)N. If so, the adjectival interpretation would seem to make more sense, on syntactic grounds.

Again this is a case where even if we defer how to best handle adverbs versus accusative singular neuter adjectives, we need to fix the first four as the lemma is not consistent with the part-of-speech chosen.

As with #13 it's worth noting that LSJ, BDAG and Danker CL all put the use of the neuter as adverb under the main adjectival headword. It still might be worth reviewing syntactically just for the record, though.

Okay, I've checked and all 4 cases where the lemma and part-of-speech mismatch are functionally adverbial.

Actually, arguably every single case marked A- ----ASN- is functioning adverbially.

James 1.19 is a truly adjectival use but the inflection gives that away anyway.

But then again #34 (comment) favours just calling them all adjectives.
