quoniam

Noun

 * 1)  A kind of drinking-cup.

Usage notes
A more recently coined word, *quoniam has been introduced by some speakers to compliment. The intended difference is that the former introduces the cause, reason or motive, while the latter reveals it. The other way to express the example above using pro ke would be: Il abandonis el, pro ke el esis nefidela. But, the best way to express the example above is using ja ke: Ja ke el esis nefidela, il abandonis el.
