As far as I know, 「[同じ]{おなじ}」 is not a 形容詞{けいようし} (-i adjective) so how does it become 「[同じく]{おなじく}」? Or does 「同じく」 not come from 「同じ」?
Also, are there any other non i-adjectives that have -ku counterparts (regardless of the answer for above)?
Answer
同じ is mainly used as 形容動詞 (Adjectival noun) like,
彼と父親の趣味は同じだ (He and his father's hobby are the same.)
but it also can be used as adjective (形容詞) with an irregularity that the -i ending is dropped. For example,
彼は父親と同じ趣味をもっている。 (He has the same hobby with his father)
But 同じく has special usage that mean そして同じように, for example.
A-さん： 私は～部所属の～と申します。 (I am from ~ department and my name is ~)
B-さん： 同じく～部所属の～と言います。 (I am also from ~ department and I am ... )
