@@ -30,21 +30,21 @@ Generally, there are eight different kinds of conjunctions in Biblical Hebrew: :
 :ref:`concessive<conjunction-concessive>` ("except"); :ref:`affirmative<conjunction-affirmative>` ("surely");
 :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.
 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.

           sentence or clause, or when it appears within the sequential verbal
           forms (:ref:`verb_sequential_perfect` and :ref:`verb_sequential_imperfect`).
           Also, the conjunction is often added between every item of a list in
           Biblical Hebrew; but in English the וְ is not translated for each item.
