But marks the opposition                   with a medium degree of strength; as, this is not                   winter, but it is almost as cold; he requested my                   assistance, but I shall not aid him at present.                   However is weaker, and throws the opposition (as it                   were) into the background; as, this is not winter; it                   is, however, almost as cold; he required my                   assistance; at present, however, I shall not afford                   him aid. The plan, however, is still under                   consideration, and may yet be adopted. Still is                   stronger than but, and marks the opposition more                   emphatically; as, your arguments are weighty; still                   they do not convince me. See {Except}, {However}.          Note: [bd]The chief error with but is to use it where and is                enough; an error springing from the tendency to use                strong words without sufficient occasion.[b8] --Bain.

See under {Bye}.          {By the head} (Naut.), having the bows lower than the stern;             -- said of a vessel when her head is lower in the water             than her stern.
