Ὥς CLAUSES 632 Ὥς as, hοw, and ὥς thus, so, are adverbs of manner from ὅς (339); they differ only in accent, ὥς corresponding to the older demonstrative form of ὅς, and ὡς to the relative form; sometimes ὡς itself is accented (18, 21 c).

The uses of ὡς as a subordinating conjunction fall under two classes: A. Corresponding to those of ὅς and other relative pronouns, B. Showing farther developments in special directions.
