καί (pronounced kahee)is the most common conjunction in the [[New Testament]], but it is never used in an adversative manner:  it never means "however" or "but".<ref>https://biblehub.com/greek/2532.htm</ref>  Yet that is how it is used in this doubtful phrase at the end of Mark 16:8, adversative to the instruction before it that the women "tell Peter and the disciples of Jesus" that Jesus will visit them.
