Third Meeting

146, Trin. 2. 4. 1, Ter. Heaut. 1. 1. 2 (cp. Quint. 10. 3. 14, Plin. Letters, 4. 27. 1) was the correct reading. Writers like Gregory of Tours freely used quod with the meaning of cum,, and such a Temporal use may have given rise to the French et que 'and when' (following e.g. a Temporal Clause). English that in ' go that you may see' is not easy to derive logically from that in ' I say that it is so,' where ' that ' was at first a Demonstrative: cp. the use of TO in Od. 4. 655. Was its early meaning in this construction like that of ro-rt ' then,' viz. ' go : that (TOT* ' then') you may see' becoming ' go that (in order that) you may see' ? If Greek tl once meant ' then ' (cp. ttra and €7r«iTa and lirti), it would be possible to compare the origin of the Homeric use of « meaning 'in order that.' In conclusion, then, these Pronoun-forms in -d (apart from any discussion as to their original range of Case-meanings, which was probably still wider) could perhaps be used in early times, not only as Subject and Object, but also as an expression for Time when, and hence as an expression for Cause.
