<p><i>paq'batlh</i> has sentences that start with conjunctions in

with conjunctions.<br>

<p>It's a matter of style, as are many of the questions you've asked
lately. If your English teacher tells you not to do it, you don't
do it, but when you're reading, say, the Bible, expect to see it.</p>
<p>Beginning sentences with conjunctions like <i>and</i> and <i>but</i>
is actually a style that was used heavily before there was
widespread literacy. In a time when you were far more likely to
have someone read a book to you than to read it yourself, using <i>and
</i>and <i>but</i> to string together sentences is a useful
storytelling technique that adds a sense of urgency and keeps the
audience's attention.<br>
