Considering his abilities, he should have done better. Seeing (that) you are here, you may as well stay. Here conside?'inj and seeing may be paraphrased as ' when or if one con- siders (sees) '♦ (ii) From an active participle having a noun (or noun-equivalent) in agree- ment. To this class belong the prepositions during, pending, notwithstaihtin*. Of these, during and pending are the English adaptations of French durant and pendant, which weie frequently used in the absolute construction cela d...urant = 'this during or lasting', ce pendant = 'this pending or awaiting decision' (now written one word cependant, and meaning 'however'). These phrases might equally be written durant cela, pendant cela, which led subse- quently to the participles being regarded as prepositions, and it is as such that they function in modern French. The history of their English representatives is exactly similar. Notwithstanding is an actual translation of the French nonobstant, which has a prepositional use only, while by ellipsis notwithstanding has come to be a sentence-adverb also.
