???????????????????????????????????????
How can I say "contrastingly", "Oppositely" Something that has an 'ly' on the end that means on the other hand, that isn't alternatively as it is the only option.
???????????????????????????????????????

I can't believe I can't think of a word

good luck...and a tip...be careful with the thesaurus...an examiner can pick it easilly!

What are you talking about? Wouldn't it be worse to repeat the same words over and over again?

Others that I can think of that don't end in -ly are:
