Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'An expression meaning ‘nevertheless’ normally presupposes a concessive clause, for example, ‘although one would not have expected it, nevertheless …,’ and implies a circumstance contrary to expectation. Some languages do not have a conjunction marking a concessive clause but do have a particle or phrase for a resultant clause, for example, ‘he did not work; nevertheless he was paid,’ which is equivalent to ‘although he did not work, he was paid.’'}

         Comments: The interpretation of ὅμως in {S:04800301500010} and {S:04601400700002} as indicating concession is doubtful, and it may be preferable to understand ὅμως in these contexts as meaning ‘likewise’ or ‘similarly,’ for example, ‘similarly, in the case of a human will, no one annuls it’ and ‘similarly, in the case of a flute or harp, lifeless instruments which produce a sound’ (see {D:64.11}).
