| Semantic Range | well, properly, rightly, honorably, successfully, satisfactorily, beautifully, commendably |

| Morphological Notes | Gr,D — adverb; indeclinable; expresses manner and does not inflect for gender, number, or case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb καλῶς derives from καλός ("good, beautiful, noble") and expresses the manner in which an action is performed.
