Details
About あわよくば
あわよくば is a combination of the old-fashioned い-Adjective あわよい 'convenient', 'timely', and the conjunction particle ば 'if'. It can be translated as 'if the time is right', 'if possible', or 'if luck is on my side'. Despite its roots, あわよくば is treated as a single word in modern Japanese, and is used in the same way as a typical adverb.
あわよくば will come before a phrase expressing a desirable outcome.
Fun Fact
Notice that ば attaches to the く form of the い-Adjective あわよい rather than けれ, as would usually be required with modern conjugation rules. This is due to the conjugation rules for ば in relation to い-Adjectives being different in both classical and modern Japanese.
