How many can you name?

How many words can you name that end in -ly, but are ONLY adjectives? No nouns (dolly), verbs (rally), or adverbs (you pick). I came up with 16 off the top of my head.

Naturally, perfectly, haughtily, comically, nicely, selfishly, generously, sumptuously, cleanly, caustically, well that’s 10 for now. This could go on ad infinitum.
