使用する際の注意点

• Hwænne is the dominant spelling in Ælfric, hwonne in most early texts including the writings of Alfred.
• Hwonne only means "when" in an interrogative sense, i.e. when forming direct or indirect questions. For "when" when it is used to introduce a dependent clause that is not a question, þā is used for past-tense clauses in the indicative mood, or þonne otherwise.
