THE USE OF CONJUNCTIONS AND ADVERBS edit
Since many English words are used both as conjunctions and as adverbs, we group together the principal difficulties of both these parts of speech.
But, as a preposition, has been explained. But, as a conjunction, is ab or sod. Sod is only used after a negativ ; it is not this, but (on the contrary) that. Even in this case ab may be used. "Not only --- but also ---," is expressed by ,,noe --- soi."
And, e before vowels ed is used, though not by all
writers. For "both --- and ---" ,,ä --- ä ---" is used.
As, like in the same manner as, äs; as, in the capacity of, as. The verb is generally omitted in the latter case. As, since, for the reason that, bi.
Before, as a preposition, has been explained. Before, as a conjunction, is büfo ; look before you leap; before as an adverb of time, büfumo ; you said that before.
That, as a pronoun, at; atos. That, as a conjunction, has two meanings expressed by dat and das. Dat means, in order that, for the purpose that. Das merely introduces a subordinate sentence as a member of a principal one, as, I said
that he would come. The subordinate sentence "he would come" introduced by that, is the object ; that shows it to be subordinate.
Though, conjunction, or although, do. Though, adverb, nevertheless, deno.
Also, i, or id before vowels.
Nor, ni. "Neither --- nor ---," ,,ni --- ni ---."
If, provided, if. If, whether, va.
Even if, ifi.
Until, till, conjunction, jüs as a preposition, jü al, jü in, etc.
After, conjunction, na preposition, pos adverb, poso.
Or, u, or ud before vowels. "Either --- or ---," ,,uf --- ud ---."
When, conjunction, ven, kü, kelüp when ? kiüp ? kitim ? when, whereupon, e täno.
Where, conjunction, kö, kelöp where ? kiöp ? kiplad ?
Yet, referring to time, nog yet, nevertheless, yed.
There, when unemphatic, is frequently untranslatable, as in the phrases, there is, there are. There is, there are, have quite a different meaning, there being taking in the sense of yonder.
