Description:
The modifier 'werta' can be an adjective or an adverb and means physically strong, or to perform an action with strength. When derived as a tight binding modifier with the suffix -no, it is sometimes used as a replacement for 'faj', 'very', for literary effect, although it means about the same thing with a slightly different shade of meaning based on the underlying idea of physical strength.
