Van Dale mentions 'gauw' both as adjective and adverb. Personally I only use
it as an adverb. What's more, I have never heard it used as an adjective.
The word 'rap' is widely used in Belgium both as an adjective and as an
adverb. As an adj. it means "fast, quick", as an adv. we use it meaning
"1.quickly; 2.in the short term".

Thanks, Roger.

I'm assuming that _rap_ comes from French _rapide_ ~ _rapidement_, or from 
Walloon _rapide_ ~ _rapidemint_ (?).  Am I on the right track?

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
