BUT vs JUST: OTHER WORD TYPES

[By further ellipsis and idiomatic deflection but has in modern English developed a great variety of special and isolated uses derived from the preceding.] Synonyms However, Still, Nevertheless, etc. See however.
When.
Than: after comparatives.
Sometimes, instead of the statement with which the clause with but is contrasted, an exclamation of surprise, admiration, or other strong feeling precedes, the clause with but then expressing the ground of the feeling.
The statement with which the clause with but is thus contrasted may be unexpressed, being implied in the context or supplied by the circumstances.
On the contrary; on the other hand: the regular adversative conjunction, introducing a clause in contrast with the preceding.
However; yet; still; nevertheless; notwithstanding: introducing a statement in restriction or modification of the preceding statement.
Excepting or excluding the fact that; save that; were it not that; unless.
After imperative or exclamatory clauses.
After interrogative clauses implying a negative answer.
An expletive what sometimes, but incorrectly, follows.
The negative clause is often represented by the single word not.
Escept that, otherwise than that, that … not. After negative clauses.
The phrase but that, often abbreviated to but, thus takes an extended meaning. If not; unless.
Hence the use of but with if or that, forming a unitary phrase but if, ‘unless, if not,’ but that, ‘except that, unless’ (these phrases having of course also their analytical meaning, with but in its adversative use).
After doubt, or doubt not, and other expressions involving a negative, but may be used as after other negatives, but that being often used pleonastically for that.
In an interrogative sentence implying a negative answer, can but is equivalent to cannot but in a declarative sentence.
To the last two constructions, respectively, belong the idioms “I cannot but hope that,” etc., and “I can but hope that,” etc. The former has suffered ellipsis of the principal verb in the first clause: “I cannot do anything but hope,” or “anything else than hope,” or “otherwise than hope,” etc., implying constraint, in that there is an alternative which one is mentally unable or reluctant to accept, but being equivalent to otherwise than. The latter, “I can but hope that,” etc., has suffered further ellipsis of the negative, and, though historically the same as the former, is idiomatically different: “I can only hope that,” etc., implying restraint, in that there is no alternative or opportunity of action, but being equivalent to only, not otherwise than, or no more than.
In this construction the negative, being implied in but, came to be omitted, especially in connection with the verbbe, in the principal clause, the construction “There is not but one God,” as in the first example, becoming “There is but one God,” leaving but as a quasi-adverb, ‘only, merely, simply.’ This use is also extended to constructions not originally negative.
By ellipsis of the subject of the clause introduced by but in this construction, but becomes equivalent to that … not or who … not.
The clause introduced by but (the apparent object of the qnasi-preposition) may be a single word, an infinitive or prepositional phrase, or a clause with that.
Except; unless: after a clause containing or implying a negation, and introducing the following clause, in which (the verb being usually omitted because implied in the preceding clause) but before the noun (subject or object of the omitted verb) comes to be regarded as a preposition governing the noun.
Except; besides; more than.
Without; not having; apart from.
To the outer apartment of: as, gae but the house.
To the outside of.—
Outside of; without.—
Only; merely; just. See III.
