Question regarding grammar in Panth's lore
"Numb and barely lucid, he pushed himself to his feet."
Barely is an adverb but lucid is never a verb. Am I missing something?

lu·cid ˈlo͞osəd/ adjective 1. expressed clearly; easy to understand. "a lucid account" synonyms: intelligible, comprehensible, understandable, cogent, coherent, articulate; More 2. literary bright or luminous. "birds dipped their wings in the lucid flow of air"
They are using the term "lucid" as a synonym for cogent, coherent. etc...
Lucid in this case is an adjective.
