In Lewis Carroll's poem, "Jabberwocky," I have a few questions about literary terms.
1. In line 13, what kind of word is, 'uffish'? Is it an adjective or adverb or...?
"And, as in uffish thought he stood..."
2. In line 20, "He went galumphing back," is the nonsense word 'galumphing' an adverb or participial adjective?
Thanks!
