Biblical Aramaic contains only one primary conjunction (the prefix וְ),
|
||
but a whole family of other words also function as conjunctions. In Biblical Aramaic, :ref:`particles<particle>`
|
||
and conjunctions are often combined with each other to form compound conjunctions.
|
||
Compound conjunctions should not be considered merely as the sum of the
|
||
components, but rather as a single grammatical entity with its own range
|
||
of meanings which may or may not be different than the individual
|
||
component words.

|
||
|
||
Sentences in Biblical Aramaic often begin with the conjunction ו (as either a consonant or a shureq vowel).
|
||
This conjunction וְ ("and") cannot stand alone as an independent word but must be connected to another word as a prefix.
|
||
This can be added to a :ref:`noun<noun>`, a :ref:`verb<verb>`, a :ref:`pronoun<pronoun>`, or a :ref:`particle<particle>`.
|
||
The shewa in וְ can lengthen to a vowel, usually pathah (when paired with the definite article) or qamets
|
||
(when paired with both the article and a ה prefix), but others are also possible.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: The conjunction וְ is often left untranslated when it begins a sentence or clause.
|
||
Also, the conjunction is often added between every item of a list in Biblical Aramaic;
|
||
but in English the וְ may not be translated for each item.
