Dear Friends,
ok, I understand ! Thank you all...Maybe I saw matters from a German point
of view. “But” requires a pair of opposite propositions in a text there, which I
cannot find in the passage of Psalm 22.
Yours
Peter Streitenberger, Germany To follow up James' point, disjunctive syntax is usually conveyed by a
non-verb in first position within a clause. The use of conjunction waw means
that there is still a connection being made with the previous clause (ie. this
is not asyndeton), but usually this will be conveyed by a disjunctive
conjunction like 'but'.
