Jose,

For a brief definition of a superordinating conjunction, using Greek DE of
Rom. 8:9 as an example, see URL:

http://www.geocities.com/mariostudies/romans81-9.htm

I think that a hyperordinating conjunction would be the same as a
superordinating conjunction. Both should contrast with a subordinating
conjunction, which is also defined on that webpage.

Here is a URL to a linguistic definition of subordinating conjunction:

gConjunctio.htm

(That must be all one single line for an Internet browser, so the second
line
will need to be joined to the end of the first line in the browser address
window.)
