Conjunctions

After reading part of the "Missing Words" thread, this came to mind.  It
seems that a lot of languages have similar words for conjunctions-
mostly short, vowel-rich syllables.  I was wondering what your languages
use for conjunctions.  I'll start by listing the few I have for
Evíendadhail.  These can all be used for joining lists of words or sets
of independant clauses.

Í /i/ 'and'
Ó /um....dunno.  English 'long o'/ 'Inclusive or (= and/or)'
Iv /Iv/ 'Exclusive or (= either...or)'
Sau /sau/ 'but'

That's it so far.  How do these compare to yours?  Similar at all?
