A syntactic word is one formed from separate morphemes, or root words (e.g. blueberry which incorporates the adjective blue). There may not be any one-word syntactic adverbs, but there are many adverbial phrases which contain no adverbs.

How can a word be a morphemic noun and a syntactic adverb in the same sentence?

Words can have multiple meanings, even morphemic nouns such as quiet: it can be a noun, an adjective, or by adding -LY can be an adverb. Words such as fast can be homonym nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. There may be no one-word syntactic adverbs, but adverbial phrases can contain non-adverbs and still function syntactically as adverbials. To use an informal idiom "on the quiet" (meaning secretly), a sentence could be "In the quiet of the night, her husband had left to meet his lover on the quiet."

For example, pre- usually means "before"; re- usually means "again". On the other hand, ly usually changes an adjective to an adverb; al usually changes a noun to an adverb.
