À propos de もっとも
もっとも, sometimes also seen as 尤も, is a conjunction that is used to clarify when (A) is not the only important thing to be considered. This expression is usually translated as 'although'. However, 'for all that', or 'with that said' are also accurate translations, depending on the context. Let's look at a few examples.
Due to もっとも offering clarification about something, the (B) phrase will often end with が, けど, けれども, and other similar expressions.
When もっとも is used, the speaker is agreeing that (A) is true, but not the whole picture. As a noun itself, 尤も can be described as 道理に適う, which means 'to stand to reason'. This nuance is kept, and may also be used as an accurate translation for もっとも as a conjunction.

Hi! Thank you.
The thing is that this grammar point is about the conjunction, no about the adverb, but it still mixes both as it includes 最も as well as a reference to JapaneseTest4You ’s entry on ‘Most, Extremely’.
My suggestion is either to remove both these references or to create a Caution section to delve with this other もっとも.

Yes, I noticed that too. They do confuse the two, the adverb and the conjunction. There is no entry for adverb 最も that means Most, Extremely only the conjunction. If there is a grammar point on the adverb, I couldn’t find it by searching the word もっとも nor 最も.

Hello,
I noticed のなかで-がいちばん is listed as a synonym for もっとも, was this in error?
