'A Fused Relative Word' And 'A Relative Adverb'
1)That's (the way) how the cookie crumbles.
2)That's (the way) how it seems.
I was told how in 1 is a relative adverb and how in 2 is a fused relative word.
Is a relative adverb not the same as a fused relative word?

Fused "how" is an adverb, but note that noun phrases can also head fused relative constructions, as in I ate what you gave me .
