(only then will we know for sure); generally
this means having 'only' adjoin
the word or words that it limits; variation in the placement of 'only'
can change the meaning and impact of a sentence, as the following example
shows (she only dates those she grew up with; she dates only those she
has grown up with); you use 'only' to indicate the one thing that is true,
appropriate or necessary in a particular situation, in contrast
to all the other things that are not true, appropriate or necessary (genuine
replies only; a business can only be built and expanded on a sound.ethical.base);
you use 'only' to introduce the thing which must happen before the thing
mentioned in the main part of the sentence can happen (only if he wins
does the lawyer get paid; only when it is ready will the bank cut interest
rates). See

outlaw.adjective
Word history:
the word outlaw brings to mind cattle rustlers and gunslingers of the Wild
West, but it comes to us from a much earlier time, when guns were not yet
invented but cattle stealing was. Outlaw can be traced back to an Old Norse
word meaning 'out log', which meant 'banish';
Scandinavians, who invaded and settled in England during the 8th through
the 11th century, gave us this Old English word which designated
someone who because of criminal acts must give up his property to
the crown and could be killed without recrimination.
The legal.status
of the outlaw became less severe
over the course of the Middle
Ages. However, the looser use
of the word to designate criminals
in
general, lives on in tales of the Wild West.

centered in what is now Turkey (map),

in the early 20th century. At its height in the mid-1500s, at the end of
the reign of Suleiman I, the Ottoman Empire controlled a vast area extending
from the Balkan Peninsula to the Middle East and North Africa. The empire
went into slow decline after Suleiman and by the early 1900s it controlled
only Asia Minor, the Anatolia region of present-day Turkey and parts of
the Balkans and the Middle East. The Ottomans lost even more territory
during World War I 1914-1918. Antioch known as Antakya in modern history
was where the name 'Christian' first
was heard. This city, was captured by the Turks in 1516 A.D.
and it remained a part of the Ottoman Empire until shortly after World
War I in 1914-1918.....comprised
