(3) After relative pronouns and conjunctions, cum, quod, etc. [illud, quod et in testimonio, etc.] (4) Before proper names and demonstrative pronouns, the particle standing at the head of its clause, or after one word of it or two, if they are such as cannot be separated [spes est, et hunc miserum, etc.] : (5) In ut - sic et.
