Re: shifting usage of "want"

In the case of the first sentence, it would feel right if the subordinate
clause was at the beginning

"Though not thirsty, I went with him to the fountain."

Although the meaning is different, it seems analogous to the way "though" is
used in English.

That is, both of these are equally correct sentences:

    I went with him to the fountain, though not thirsty.

    I went with him to the fountain, though I wasn't thirsty.

As far as I know, it's considered a conjunction in both instances.
