4. Illative, denoting an inference: as, igitur, therefore.

[*] b. Subordinate, connecting a subordinate or independent clause with that on which it depends (see § 278. 2. b). These are:—

1. Conditional, denoting a condition or hypothesis: as, sī, if; nisi, unless.
2. Comparative, implying comparison as well as condition: as, ac sī, as if.
3. Concessive, denoting a concession or admission: as, quamquam, although (lit. however much it may be true that, etc.).
4. Temporal: as, postquam, after.
5. Consecutive, expressing result: as, ut, so that.
6. Final, expressing purpose: as, ut, in order that; nē, that not.
