         DefinitionShort: a marker of concession

         Glosses: ['although', 'though', 'even though']

         Comments: In some languages concession is marked not by a particle attached to the so-called concessive clause, but by marking an unexpected contrast in the related clause. For example, the expression in {S:05800500800002} may be rendered in some languages as ‘he was God’s Son, but nevertheless he learned to be obedient,’ and the expression in {S:06100101200016} may be rendered as ‘you already know these matters, but nevertheless I will always remind you of them.’
