Many of these words are not adverbs at all! For example, ĝis is used as a preposition (ĝis la revido) and arguably as a conjunction (ĝis hodiaŭ). Also, antaŭ is a preposition and a conjunction; in its adverbial use it's antaŭe, and so is completely regular.

Can you find adverbial uses for all these words? If not, I suggest going through this list and removing the half that are regular. --kwami 20:36, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Okay, there's all sorts of stuff in here: pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and "particles" (little words such as that don't fit any of the parts of speech). I'm taking them out, but am trying to be conservative, so I'll probably miss a couple. I'm also taking out the correlatives, since they're listed in the main article, and this list will be more easily manageable without them (the ones ending in -om weren't adverbs anyway!) —kwami 04:10, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
P.S. I added tre (very) to the list. Obviously an adverb, and similar to tro.
