The coroner told the jury he had no doubt the Christmas pudding was meant kindlily.
Instead, he would have had to write "Lead Kindlily, Light", sacrificing sound to sense.
However, when an adjective ending in "-ly" is to be used in an adverbial sense, the rules of word formation require that the "y" be suppressed and an "-ily" be appended: thus, kindly to kindlily.
