Etymology 2

Inherited from Proto-Radic *o (some expressive particle).

Conjunction

  1. and, so, then
    Synonyms: ar, az, r' (poetic)
    Stișeș-ast o râbeș.
    He ate it and died.
  2. and, but, whereas
    Virșu sjuoþs lírúr svoroaș, o u nraos ljájúr.
    My brother is three years old, and/but my sister is seven.
Usage notes
  • The conjunction o is only used to join clauses; when joining structures at phrase level, ar/az is used. This is not to be confused with its usage as a particle.
  • If o joins two clauses with the same subject, it is implied the latter event is subsequent and/or consequent.
    • In this sense, the conjunction does not require a preceding comma.
    U skanslieþs orezeș o lvoríneș.
    The man sang and (then) (he) danced.
    U skanslieþs orezeș az lvoríneș.

    Lvoríneș o vâs.
    Even she danced.
    Vâs o lvoríneș.
    She even danced.
Usage notes
  • The particle acts as a proclitic. This is not to be confused with its usage as a conjunction.
  • In the sense of ‘also’, it cannot modify verbs themselves: o kaor is used for this purpose.
    Lvoríneș o kaor.
    She also danced.
    • It can still be used before verbs in the sense of ‘even’, however.
  • As a particle, it does not require a preceding comma.
