What precisely do you mean when you say that the Greek adverbs "all look
the same?" Surely not that most of them end in -WS. I've never thought of
adverbs as something to be learned as a special group, but rather that one
should learn cognate lists together, which means for adverbs that one is
learning adjectives at the same time, most of which are likely to involve
nominal or verbal roots relating to important nouns and/or verbs.
