Old Chinese Criteria
1. The current word to make explicitly concessive nominals is suī 雖.

2. E@r 而 is restricted to subordinate clauses, and the word stresses the subjective incongruousness, thus coming close to being a counterfactual "even".

3. Yóu 猶 stresses the objective unlikeliness of the subject being characterised by the predicate.

NB: Lián 連 is post-Buddhist (MING)
