Oct 31, 2013 at 3:43 comment added TKR Let's get this straight. There are two 'cum's in Latin. The one used in circumstantial clauses is a conjunction; the one used in prepositional phrases like magna cum laude is a preposition. (I know Cerberus and Colin Fine both know this, just clearing up the confusion in this comment thread.)
Oct 31, 2013 at 2:58 comment added Cerberus @ColinFine: In the construction TKR and Emsoap are talking about, it is a preposition...
Oct 31, 2013 at 0:22 comment added Colin Fine To clarify TKR's comment: this cum is not the preposition cum that means with, but a homonymous word with a different meaning and origin.

Oct 30, 2013 at 22:49 comment added TKR The Latin cum construction is completely different from the ones I'm asking about, in both sense and structure. (Btw, this cum is neither a relative pronoun nor a preposition, but a subordinating conjunction.)
