And I just spotted another usage in another thread from a post yesterday (Dec. 26):

> [@What do Christians celebrate on the second days of Christmas, Easter and Pentecost?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-christians-celebrate-on-the-second-days-of-christmas-easter-and-pentecost/956676/8):
>
> Reading the Wiki article, it’s interesting how the majority of biblical scholars regard the story as a myth **yet**
> 
> > [@](#):
> >
> > [. . . quote from somewhere discussing various conflicting opinions . . .]

(Bold added.) Here, “yet” means “nevertheless” or “but”.
