with absolutely no turnip in sight!
It’s a word from a long time ago in Old English…
It can function as a noun, a conjunction, a preposition or a transitive verb…
It can mean ‘during’, but can also mean ‘on the other hand’, ‘in spite of’, ‘until’, ‘time & effort expended’ and a clutch of other intertwined and conflicting senses…
Have you got the word yet? ~ one of those common ones that only when a friend stops you to query something do you start looking at the chasm beneath your feet…!
