These signal that the cited authority directly supports a proposition.

E.g., from the latin exempli gratia, means "for the sake of example".

• Cf.:

This signals (for the Latin confer, meaning "compare") that the cited authority states a proposition different from that stated by the person citing to the authority, but that the cited authority's proposition is sufficiently analogous to lend support.

• Contra:
