However, but, tamen, attamen; verumtamen (but however, but yet, οὐ μὴν ἀλλά): nihilominus (nevertheless): quamquam, etsi (although, however, μέντοι, καίτοι: both chiefly, as in Greek μέντοι, in an exception which a speaker himself makes, where also we may use sed; Vid: Cic., Cat., 1, 9, 22; ad Div., 7, 24, 2; Muren., 41, 89): sed (in transitions, when the discourse is suddenly broken off; e.g., yet let us omit that, sed id omittamus; yet enough of this, sed haec hactenus): sed, tamen, verumtamen (in resuming interrupted discourse, after a parenthesis, etc.; Vid: Cic., N.D., 1, 32, quite at the end; Verro, 3, 2, near the biginning; ☞ Heusing., Cic., Off., 1, 1, 3): atque (however, in passing to another part of a speech; Vid: Dachne, Nep., Lys., 1, 4; Ruhnken, Ter., Andria, 1, 3, 20): saltern (at least, in a limitation). Yet at least, yet certainly, at, at saltem, or at... saltem (after negative propositions; Vid: Cic., ad Div., 9, 8, 2; Sext., 3, quite at the end): yet at last, yet at length, tamen, tandem (when anything long wished or hoped for is attained; Vid: Bremi, Suet., Oct. 91; Moeb., Caes., B.G., 3, 21): yet not, neque tamen; non tamen; tamen... non (Vid: Krebs, §808).
Denoting a condition, sed: yet so, yet only in so far... that or that not, sed tamen ita... ut, or ut ne; also simply ita... ut, or ut ne, when the first proposition is limited by the second (Vid: Cic., ad Div., 16, 9, 3; Cat., 4, 7, 15; ☞ Beier, Cic., Off., 1, 25, 88, p. 199, sequens):
(Of time)(Of time), still, adhuc (to this time): ad id; ad id tempus (to that time): etiam (pointing out the existence of a certain circumstance at a certain period, as implying surprise or displeasure): etiamnunc; etiamnum (the same, with emphasis): not yet, nondum (to denote the non-existence or non-occurrence of an expected event, state, etc., as contemporaneous with the occurrence of some other event, which may be either past, present, or future: ille quid agat, si nondum Roma es profectus ad me scribas velim); haud dum, non... etiam (makes the verb of the sentence more emphatic): you do not yet thoroughly know me, non satis pernosti me etiam qualis sim (Ter., Andr., 3, 2, 23): adhuc non (even up to the present moment, with reference to the previous space during which the event has not taken place; with reference to the past, we must use ad id tempus non; ad id non): not yet... but, nondum... sed: and not yet, neque dum; neque adhuc: nothing yet, nihildum; nihil adhuc: not yet, nullus dum; nullus etiam nunc (all with same difference as nondum, non etiam, adhuc non; Vid: [Vid: OBS. in HITHERTO.]
Yet, in adding, strengthening, etc., and with comparatives; etiam, with comparative: ☞ not adhuc till Quint., etc.; also in adding particulars, etc., that are to be taken besides and equally with what was before mentioned: etiam alii; etiam insuper: I make yet one more request, unum etiam vos oro, ut, etc. Vid: STILL.
