John 1:47
IDE ALHQWS ISRAHLITHS EN W DOLOS OUK ESTIN

To what extent can adverbs as ALHQWS take on adjectival qualities? Some 
translations render this as 'a true Israelite' but it seems to me rather 
uncommon to take an adverb in the sense of an adjective. I checked 
BDF343 but I see some difference with the case in hand: here the adverb 
is derived from an adjective.
Could somebody shed some light?.

Regards,
Dirk Jongkind
