Here's an example from Dickens of "as" as a relative pronoun. Sam Weller
says, "...the turnkeys takes wery good care to seize hold o' ev'ry body
but them as pays 'em..."
I'd like to see some "but" and "but that" examples.

Here's another take on relative pronouns. I happened to be checking
Curme's Parts of Speech and Accidence this morning, on another matter
entirely, when I came across the following in a section headed "Relative
Pronouns with Antecedent":
"These relative pronouns are who, which, that, as, but, but that, but
what (colloquial), the indefinites whoever, whatever, and whichever, and
other less common forms enumerated in [his Syntax, the other part of
Curme and Kurath's A Grammar of the English Language (HFWS]."
I suspect we could get into an interesting discussion of "as", "but",
and "but that".
