Grammar of Dionysios Thrax.
ἐπειδήπερ. Causatives are those which are taken to express cause: they are these, ἵνα, ὄφρα, ὅπως, ἕνεκα, οὕνεκα, ὅτι, διό, διότι, καθό, καθότι, καθόσον. Dubitatives are those which we are wont to use when we are in doubt; they are these, ἆρα, κἆτα, μῶν. Inferentials are those which lend themselves readily to conclusions and summings-up of demonstrations: they are these, ἄρα, ἀλλά, ἀλλὰ μέν, τοίνυν, τοιγάρτοι, τοιγαροῦν. Expletives are those which are used for the sake of metre or ornament: they are these, δή, ῥά, νύ, ποῦ, τοί, θήν, ἄρ, δῆτα, πέρ, πώ, μήν, ἄν, αὖ, οὖν, κέν, γέ. Some persons add also Adversatives, as ἔμπης, ὅμως.
