Relative Pronouns and Adverbs.
201 1. " That " is often omitted as the Object, and
sometimes (rarely except in Poetry) as the Subject: -
(1) " 'Twas you (that) I saw."
(2) )"'Twas you (that) said so, not I."
The regular construction inserts "that."
The cause of irregularity is (J.)' "the desire of
lbrevity," and (II.) 1 confusion " with the straighltf orward construction "You said so."
202 2. "But" seems put for "that... not " or
"4who...not," e.g. in(1) "There is no ooe here but hates you," i.e. " that
does not hate you."
The radical meaning of "1but " is "1be-out " or
"9 with-out;;" hence "1 except." And therefore, tile
regular construction is(2) )"T here is no man here but or except (hie) hate
you.)
Compare Julius Uesar, V. a, 35 -
(3) "1I found no man bit he was true to me."
Brev~ity steps in And omits " he." Also "but
is confused with a Rlelative Pronoun, just as "1as "
is. (See next Paragraph).
For other uses of " but,1' see Index.
