There are certain indeclinable forms which function as connectives in
the language. These connect words in phrases and clauses to form compound
and complex sentences. The connectives are :
|
|
d€
|
‘and’
|
|
wr
|
‘but’
|
|
ya
|
‘or’
|
|
je
|
‘that, if’
|
|
|
Besides the above connectives there are some discontinuous connectives
formed with /je/ etc. such as
|
|
je...d€
|
‘If...then’
|
|
jè...tã
|
‘If..then’
|
|
na...na
|
‘Neither...nor’
|
|
|
/d€/
is a coordinate connective which joins two or more words or clauses of the
same category in the coordinate phrases and sentences. For example :
|
|
|
| |
|
wo
|
d€
|
wa
|
km
|
krẽ
|
‘He
|
and
|
she
|

|

|
|
{wr}
‘but’ joins two clauses in which the first clause {wr}
‘but’ joins action and the second clause joined by /wr/
‘but’ is the contrary to the first causing the failure of the first
action and denotes the cause. Thus it is used to join two clauses-one of
desired action and the other of result. Second it can also join two
clauses in which both the actions had already taken place.
