 * In the event that this survives, and bearing in mind also that if the adverb exists in the "naked" sense then it probably also exists in the literal sense, we may wish to consider converting the entry to "Prepositional phrase", which has been done elsewhere in a number of places, as I understand it to avoid repeating every definition as both adj. and adv. and/or adjudicating borderline/debatable cases Mihia (talk) 20:58, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * In any event we may wish to consider that the correct part of speech is “prepositional phrase”. Fay Freak (talk) 21:01, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The surviving definitions should be reworded as prepositional phrases. Synonyms that are not prepositional phrases should be qualified as adverbial or adjectival if their usage is limited in those ways. I suppose something analogous should happen for translations too.

 * Many of these are questionable. For example, "he's out there in all his glory in the nude". Does "in all his glory" describe the manner in which he is out there, i.e. adverbial, or his state while out there, i.e. adjectival, as in "he's out there naked"? Probably a good reason to convert to "prepositional phrase" on the grounds mentioned. Mihia (talk) 00:19, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Seems silly to even consider such a distinction; all prepositional phrases in English are syntactically adverbial. — 69.120.64.15 05:18, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Depending on their function in a sentence, they can be adverbial or adjectival, though sometimes it is debatable which. Mihia (talk) 10:34, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
