Adverbial participle is a lexical category in the grammar of some languages (Russian [1], Hungarian, many Eskimo languages, e.g. Sireniki Eskimo [2]). In most cases, it plays the role of the sentence element called adverbial — thus it can usually be translated into English by using an appropriate adverbial clause. It is built out of a verb (mostly with a suffix).
Because the above languages have also adjectival participle, the word participle is meant often for both lexical categories [1].
