Syntax notes2 items
- 7.1.40.prQuod si
The relative pronoun quod at the beginning of the sentence is used transitionally, and in combination with si, it means 'But if' or 'And if'.
- 7.1.40.prnon alias ... nisi
A double negative construction ('not otherwise... unless') expressing a strong limitation, meaning in effect 'only if'. The object of retineo ('usufructum') is understood from the context.
