Are there more conjunctions than and, for, but, though?

We know that "conjunctions(and, for, but, though) + pronouns" can be equal to "a comma+ who and which"

For example, "Tom, who is from the USA, is my friend."-> "Tom is my friend, and he is from the USA."

However, what I would like to know is whether we must define just four conjunctions such as and, for, but, though for non- defining relative clauses? Or every conjunction is possible to be listed for non-defining relative clauses?

Thank you as usual and I hope to hear from you.

PS. If you do not like "every conjunction", would you tell me any possible conjunctions?

htm "Though" does not fit with the others in your list, because it is a subordinating conjunction. The others plus so and yet are coordinating conjunctions. "

Thank you, but my question was about conjunctions for non restrictive relative clauses. Or you mean all of the conjunctions can be used for non restrictive relative clauses?

Hi;

Relative clauses are dependent clauses introduced by a Relative Pronoun (that, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, whose, and of which). Relative clauses can be either restrictive or nonrestrictive.

I don't see any connection between a relative clause a
