-------
Biblical Hebrew contains only one primary conjunction (the prefix וְ),
but a whole family of other words also function as conjunctions. A
conjunction is a word that shows a relationship between two different
words, phrases, sentences, or even entire paragraphs. In Biblical Hebrew, :ref:`particles<particle>`
but a whole family of other words also function as conjunctions.
In Biblical Hebrew, :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.
Generally, there are eight different kinds of conjunctions:
:ref:`conjunctive<conjunction-conjunctive>` ("and");
:ref:`alternative<conjunction-alternative>` ("or");
:ref:`contrastive<conjunction-contrastive>` ("but");
:ref:`explicative<conjunction-explicative>` ("surely");
:ref:`causal<conjunction-causal>` ("for");
:ref:`conditional<conjunction-conditional>` ("if");
:ref:`concessive<conjunction-concessive>` ("except");
:ref:`restrictive<conjunction-restrictive>` ("only").
Many conjunctions in Biblical Hebrew have potential to function in multiple categories.

Sentences in Biblical Hebrew 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.
