3) When the principal clause contains a rhetorical question.
E.g. Hwa is on eorđan nu unlærdra þe ne wundrige wolcna
færeldes…? "Who is there in earth among the unlearned who does not
wonder at the motion of the clouds…?"
The answer demanded is, of course, "No-one"
4) When a limiting adjective clause has as antecedent a genitive
depending on a superlative, e.g.
Niwe flodas Noe oferlađ …
þone deopestan drencefloda
þara đe gewurde on woruldrice.
Here the poet is saying that Noah "sailed over the deepest deluge that
could ever be or have been".
Adverb Clauses
The conventional classification will serve us here. It distinguishes
eight types: place, time, purpose, result, cause, comparison, concession
and condition. On the whole, you will find that these clauses are
fundamentally very similar to their counterparts in MnE.
In OE, we can find comparable examples to these:
E.g. Hæfde se cyning his fierd jn tu tonumen,swa þæt hie wæron
simle healfe æt ham, healfe ute "The king had divided his army into
two,so that at any one time half were at home, half in the field".
E.g. Ic wat þæt nan nis þæs welig þæt he sumes eacan ne þyrfe "I
know that there is no man so wealthy that he does not need more of
something".
E.g. And ichyne nyste, as ic com and fullode on wætere, to þam þæt
he wære geswutelod on Israhela folce "And I knew him not, but I came
and baptized (him) in water, to the end that he might be manifested to the
people of Israel".
Clauses of Place
The main conjunctions are:
1. þǣr "where",
þider "whither",
þanon "whence".
These may introduce definite and indefinite clauses.
2. swǣ hwær swǣ "wherever",
hwider swǣ "wherever, whithersoever".
