I believe he asked for though: however, despite the fact that.

“though they were speaking in undertones, Philip could hear them”

Yes, I mistook ‘though’ for ‘through.’ I tend to use ‘although’ instead of ‘though.’

‘Though’ conveys a contrast.

When used to mean ‘despite the fact that,’ I agree with Yutaka, I tend to use ‘although’ or ‘even though’ rather than ‘though.’

‘Though’ can be used at the end of a sentence, meaning ‘however,’ rather than using ‘but’ at the beginning of a sentence.

compare these three sentences (about surfing):

despite the fact that: even though
Even though I knew it was going to be the best ride of my life, I was scared. The power and the size of the waves were unreal.

I knew it was going to be the best ride of my life. But I was scared. The power and the size of the waves were unreal.

however: though
I knew it was going to be the best ride of my life. I was scared though. The power and the size of the waves were unreal.
