كَثِيرًا excessive

'much / excessive,' in the -a form precisely because 'was' before it forces its predicate there. The lightening is recommended only when the dust is plentiful — this word sets that condition.

كثيرًا many

An indefinite noun standing as the thing seen, so it takes the object-style ending. Used here as a quantity word, 'many', it leans forward onto the 'from the people' phrase that follows to specify many of what. The ending alone signals it is the verb's target, with no helper word.
