Saluton.
I was in the library (both literally and on the website) and noticed this song lyric:
Mi portiĝis per etera ond'
Al loko stranga tre
Am I missing something or does tre usually go before the relevant adjective? (Same with ne, but whatevs.) I understand why they might temporarily disregard that, but I just wanted to make sure that what I was learning wasn't relernenda.

Key word being 'usually'.

If I'm not mistaken, tre is classed as an adverb, and as such I beleive there's no specific rule that prohibits such usage, as would be the case with say, a preposition. PMEG says "Tre preskaŭ ĉiam staras antaŭ tio, kion ĝi priskribas kaj plifortigas", which would seem to tepidly imply it is possible to do so, even though it practically never happens in normal speech. Poetry is another matter though, and IMO it's fine there.
