68 PREPOSITIONS. Prepositions in Latin have two uses :

(1) As separate words used with Oblique case of Nouns or Pronouns. See §§ 135, 153.

(2) As prefixes in composition with Verbs, Adjectives, and other words, see § 296.

CONJUNCTIONS.

Conjunctions are either Co-ordinate or Subordinate.

Co-ordinate Conjunctions connect words and phrases, and similar (Co-ordinate) clauses and sentences.

Subordinate Conjunctions connect Dependent or Subordinate with Principal clauses. For these see the Syntax.

§ 103. are:

1. Copulative, denoting Union, as Eng. (both . . . and, also): ĕt, -quĕ, atquĕ (or āc), ĕtĭam, quoquĕ.

2. Disjunctive, denoting Separation or Distinction, as Eng. (either ... or): aut, -vĕ, vĕl, sīvĕ (or seu). After a Question; ăn, -nĕ.

3. Adversative, denoting Opposition, as Eng. (however, nevertheless, &c.) : sĕd, ăt, tămĕn, vērum, autem.

Add to these Conjunctions or Adverbs expressing:

4. Inference, as Eng. : ĭdĕō, idcircō, proptĕrĕā on that account, ĭtăquĕ and so, ērgō, ĭgĭtŭr therefore.

5. Cause, as Eng. : nam, namque, 6nim.

INTERJECTIONS.

Interjections are properly natural cries expressing feelings, as ō oh! ēn, eccĕ lo! vae, heu, ēheu alas! ā, prō ah! or expressing desires or commands, as heus hollo! ēiă ho! st hush! But other words (often abbreviated) are used as Interjections, as nĕsās monstrous! hercle by Hercules!
