#2172. 古英語の副詞節を導く接続詞[oe][conjunction][preposition][syntax][case]

　Mitchell and Robinson (83--86) より．副詞節を導く接続詞を列挙する．Non-prepositional conjunctions と Prepositional conjunctions に分けられる．まずは前者から．

[ Non-prepositional conjunctions ]

ǣr	"before"
būtan	"but, except that, unless"
gif	"if"
hwonne	"when"
nefne, nemne	"unless"
nū	"now that"
oð	"until"
sam . . . sam	"whether . . . or"
siþþan	"after, since"
swā þæt	"so that"
swelce	"such as"
þā	"when"
þā hwīle þe	"as long as, while"
þanon	"whence"
þǣr	"where"
þæs	"after"
þæt	"that, so that"
þēah	"although"
þenden	"while''
þider	"whither"
þonne	"whenever, when, then"
þȳlǣs (þe)	"lest"

　次に Prepositional conjunctions の一覧．これらは，前置詞の後に þæt の適切な格形が続いて（さらに不変化の subordinating particle þe あるいは不変化の þæt が続くこともある），句全体で接続詞として機能するものである．for を例にとれば，for þǣm, for þam, for þan, for þon, for þy, for þi, for þæm þe, forþan þæt など，諸形が用いられる．
