Conjunctions

These are used to connect the parts of sentences together; and are,

  1. copulative,
  2. disjunctive, and
  3. conditional

The copulative is agus. ; sometimes written in antient MSS. thus — acas, ocus; and still often used in these contracted forms, as. os. amd s.

The disjunctive are aċ, aċd, but; no or, nor, neither.

The conditionals are

bioḋ although go, gur, gurab that
ba if ma, mas, ma is, mo if
do ġriġ because muna, mur unless
ge, giḋ though óir for, because that

I have put many of the conjunctions of some of the Grammarians among the adverbs, to which they properly belong.
