_aned, oned_, or made _one. And_ also refers to the thing that is
_joined_ to, _added_ to, or _made one_ with, some other person or
thing mentioned. "Julius _and_ Harriet will make a happy pair."
Resolution: "Julius, Harriet _joined, united_, or _aned_, will make
a happy pair;" i.e. Harriet _made one_ with Julius; will make a
happy pair.
_For_ means _cause_.
_Because_--_be-cause_, is a compound of the verb _be_, and the noun
_cause_. It retains the meaning of both; as, "I believe the maxim,
_for_ I know it to be true;"--"I believe the maxim, _be-cause_ I
know it to be true;" i.e. the _cause_ of my belief, _be_, or _is_, I
know it to be true.
_Nor_ is a contraction of _ne or. Ne_ is a contraction of _not_, and
_or_, of _other. Nor_ is, _not other_-wise: _not_ in the _other_ way
or manner.
_Else_ is the imperative of _alesan, unless_, of _onlesan_, and
_lest_, the past part. of _lesan_, all signifying to dismiss,
release, loosen, set free. "He will be punished, _unless_ he
repent;"--"_Unless, release, give up_, (the fact) he repents he will
be punished.
