THE CONCESSIVE CLAUSE. 



Concessive clauses have to be regarded as a special sort of conditional 

 clauses. They are introduced by a concessive particle like though, although, 

 hut, nevertheless, and Klamath expresses them more frequently by the use 

 of verbals and participles than by the finite verb, joined to the particle gi'nt 

 or gintak, which in most cases occupies the second place in the sentence or 

 phrase. This postpositive location of the particle is due to its verbal nature, 

 since it has originated from giant, giant ak, and was contracted to gint liku
