“but that” in Latin

(except that, if not)(except that, if not), ni, nisi; quod nisi. But that I fear my father, ni metuam patrem. And but that he was ashamed to confess, et nisi erubesceret fateri.

After a negative, quin, qui non: ill this use we often drop that. Vid: Quin is hardly ever used where, if the relative and non were used, cujus non or cui non would stand: it sometimes stands for quo non after an expression of time. The sentence after quin must not contain another relative. No day almost, hut (that) he comes to my house, dies fere nullus est, quin domum meam veniat, or quo domum meam non veuiat. There is none but is afraid of you, nemo est, qui te non metuat. There is none but may complain, nemo est, quin conqueri possit. There is no doubt but (that), etc. non est dubium, quin (with subjunctive). I have no fear but I shall write you letters enough, non vereor, ne non scribendo te expleam. None but (i. e., those who did not), nemo quin, nemo qui non. None but knows, nemo est, qui nesciat.

Not but that, non quin, non quia non. with a subjunctive, followed in the subsequent clause by sed quod or sed quia with the indicative, or by sed ut with the subjunctive.
