Conjunctive is a different part of speech of
the word CONJUNCITON.

of a coordinating or correlative conjunction to
join simple sentences in a compound
sentence.
These are usually stronger and more precise
than coordinating conjunctions.

moreover
To replace BUT However, nevertheless, still
To state a
result
Consequently, therefore, so,
thus
To state
equality
Equally, likewise, similarly
