Usage notes

 * Use of as as a relative conjunction meaning "that" dates to late Middle English and was formerly common in standard English, but is now only standard in constructions like "the same issue as she had" or "the identical issue as the appellant raised before"; otherwise, it is informal, found in the dialects of the Midland, Southern, Midwestern and Western US; and of Lancashire, Cheshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Huntingdonshire, East Anglia, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Bedfordshire, Essex, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Surrey, and Cornwall; sometimes in Durham, Westmorland, Yorkshire and Somerset; only rarely in Northumberland and Scotland; and only in certain set phrases in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Devon.

Usage notes
In traditional standard English (like ) is a conjunction, not a preposition. The use of pronominal case forms (subject vs. object) therefore depends on the syntactical context. Compare: In modern every day English, this difference may be lost and the use of bare subject forms (I, he, she, we, they) after may seem pedantic. Only the object forms are used on their own.

Etymology
Probably borrowed from : compare and, also loanwords. Original meaning was 'a rectangular bronze plaque weighing a pound'.

Pronunciation

 * (before a vowel)
 * Note: the word is singularly and unreliably attested in poetry, but together with its derivatives usually measures long. It's more likely that it retained the geminate consonant before a vowel than that the vowel itself was lengthened. Most recent dictionaries give it as short, but EDL and certain other etymologists as long; compare.

Noun

 * 1) as; a Roman coin originally made of bronze and weighing one pound, but later made of copper and reduced to two ounces, one ounce, and eventually half an ounce.
 * 2) a penny, a copper
 * 3) pound as a unit of weight
 * 4) any undivided unit of measurement
 * 5)  a whole estate
 * 6) a circular flap or valve

Usage notes
It is especially significant as being the coin of least value in the Classical age; as such it was often used in poetry as representative of the idea of worthlessness—one example being in Vivamus atque amemus, where Catullus mentions "valuing opinions of old men at a single as". Two and a half asses equalled a single sesterce.
