Notwithstanding is used as a subordinate conjunction in the sense of though.
I shall go, notwithstanding the road is said to be impassable.
371. Relative adverbs are similar in their use to conjunctions, and are therefore often called conjunctive adverbs ([§§ 194–195]).
Note. Most conjunctions, historically considered, are merely adverbs (or adverbial phrases) which have come to be used in so peculiar a way as to form a special class among the parts of speech. Thus the adverbs since and while become conjunctions when they cease to denote time; because is a corruption of the phrase by cause; but is developed from an old adverb meaning “outside.”

- bah,
- pshaw,
- fie,
- whew,
- tut-tut,
- st (often spelled hist),
- ha,
- aha,
- ha ha,
- ho,
- hey,
- hum,
- hem,
- heigh-ho (heigh-o),
- alas,
- bravo,
- lo.
When written, interjections are often followed by an exclamation point (!).
