Hello.

I know there are so many adverbs written with the final two letters "_ly", but tell me is it possible to "say" o to "write" or to use the word "wrathly"?

What will native people, and native well-educated teachers of English Language say about it?

why?

You need to understand that adverbs ending in -ly are created from adjectives, Guillermo.

The word wrath is a noun, not an adjective, so it cannot be made into an adverb.

We do have an adjective, wrathful, so this can be made into an adverb, wrathfully.
