Re: phrasal and clausal conjunctions
:con: Atlántika There isn't much to say about que [ke] 'and'.

One more thing: this que doesn't come from PIE...

It's strictly a posteriori (with a large number of sound laws, analogical levelings and assorted loanwords from nearby languages), and it belongs to a fictional branch of the Hellenic subfamily of Indo-European...
