Outline
• although:
      1. 1. etsi (i. e. even if; notwithstanding: with the Indic. when referring to an actual fact, with Subj. of a mere hypothesis): a. the Cevennes impeded the march with very deep snow, yet, etc., etsi mons Cevenna altissima nive iter impediebat, tamen, Caes.: I am glad, a. I have no reason for being so, gaudeo etsi nihil scio quod gaudeam, Pl.: a. you had deprived Sulla of nothing but the consulship, yet you ought to have been satisfied with that, etsi nihil aliud Sullae nisi consulatum abstulissetis, tamen eo vos contentos esse oportebat, Cic.
      2. 2. ĕtĭamsi (same constr. as etsi, but more emphatic): a. the truth is not pleasant, yet, etc., veritas e. jucunda non est, tamen, etc., Cic.: with your aid, a. we were fearful, yet we would cast away all fear, tuis opibus, e. timidi essemus, tamen omnem timorem abjiceremus, Cic.
      3. 3. lĭcĕt (only hypothetical, and strictly a verb: with subj.) a. all dangers may threaten me, yet I will assist (my client) and encounter (them), licet omnia in me pericula impendeant, succurram atque subibo, Cic.: life is short, a. it should exceed a thousand years, vita brevis est, licet supra mille annos exeat, Sen. (v. IT IS ALLOWED.)
      4. 4. tămetsi or tămĕnetsi (= notwithstanding; of actual facts, hence usu. with Indic.): I should not really believe what I am saying, a. I had generally heard it, non mehercule haec quae loquor crederem, tametsi vulgo audieram, Cic.: and a. Caesar understood these things, yet he summons the ambassadors, quae tametsi Caesar intellegebat, tamen legatos appellat, Caes.
      5. 5. quanquam (constr. same as preceding): a. he is wicked, q. est scelestus, Ter.: a. you are in haste, the delay is not long, q. festinas, non est mora longa, Hor.: esp. used by a person correcting himself, where it forms a kind of sentence in itself: a. (were it so), even that would give rise to no suspicion of a coalition, q., ne id quidem suspicionem coitionis habuerit, Cic.
      6. 6. ŭt (with subj.: esp. in sense granting that: q.v.): but a. it be so, yet you cannot predicate this, verum ut ita sit, tamen non potes hoc praedicare, Cic.: also without a verb: all these things were done, the patricians a. unwilling, yet not being openly opposed, haec omnia ut invitis ita non adversantibus patriciis transacta, Liv.: they go together to the waters of the Cephisus, a. not yet clear, yet already flowing in their wonted channel, adeunt pariter Cephisidas undas, ut nondum liquidas, sic jam vada nota secantes, Ov.

      8. 8. quamvīs (prop. however much: hence esp. in connection with adjectives: constr. same as 1, 2). in war he had performed deeds, a. ruinous to the state yet great, res bello gesserat q. reipublicae calamitosas, attamen magnas, Cic.: did not your anger abate as you entered our territories, a. you had come with hostile feeling? non tibi q. infesto animo perveneras, ingredienti fines ira cecidit?

etsi (=“even if,” the concession made is here simply a supposition: if considered as really existing, the indicative is used; if merely as possible, the subjunctive): etiamsi (a fuller and stronger etsi = “yea, even if,” “even if.” Etiamsi and etsi differ nearly as “though” and “although”): tamen etsi or tametsi (gives prominence to the improbability of the coexistence of the supposition and the asserted consequence: it is often followed by tamen, which has then the force of “yet nevertheless quamquam (= “however much” the supposition really exists: the real existence of the supposition being granted, it takes the indicative in the best writers): quamvis (“however much” you, the person addressed, may possibly imagine the concession, to exist really: hence in Cic. only with the subjunctive): ☞ quamquam and quamvis can only be used with adjectives, adverbs, and verbs, whose notion can be supposed to exist in a heightened degree of intensity: licet (= “granted the thing be so :” “let it be so, if you like :” allowing a supposition, the correctness of which the speaker does not in any degree maintain himself, but allows the person addressed to maintain if he pleases: it is an impersonal verb, and takes the subjunctive governed by ut omitted. It may occur in other tenses; thus, detrahat auctori multum fortuna licebit: and Cic. has quamvis licet, N.D., 3, 36; Tusc, 4, 24). Observe, “Though” correcting or limiting a previous statement, or adding to it some circumstance to be kept in view in the application of it, is quamquam, less frequently etsi; the conjunction standing at the head of a sentence, which is then more than a mere subordinate clause. Thus, confer te ad Manlium: infer patriae bellum. Quamquam quid ego te invitem, etc.? (Cic.). Do, do, poenas temeritatis meae: etsi quae fuit illa temeritas? (Cic.). cum (with subjunctive, PROP. denotes the coexistence of two apparently inconsistent states, etc.) Ut has also the meaning of although (ut desint vires, tamen est laudanda voluntas, Ov.), and ne of “although - not” (e.g., ne sit summum malum dolor, malum certe est, Cic.).
