following this connective denotes the cause and the preceding clause marks
the result. Thus this connective is just the opposite of /Is wast€/.

/tã
je/ ‘so that’, compound connective formed by adding /je/ to /tã/
conjoins two clauses which are related with each other in the sense of
cause-effect relationship as denoted by /Is wast€/
except the distribution of the finite verbal forms are different. Here the
cause is in imperative mood and effect is in the subjunctive mood.

[na...na] ‘neither...nor’ is a discontinuous compound which
conjoins two clauses. The first /na/ begins the first clause and the
second /na/ occurs at the beginning of the second clause. Both the clauses
joined with these /na....na/ are in coordinate relation just like the
negative of /d€/ connective constructions. Examples:
|
|
na
|

|

Complex sentences without connectives
|
|
There are also compound sentences which are formed by joining two
clauses without any connective in a coordinate construction but the
clauses are semantically related and has intonation pattern of a single
sentence. Besides such compound sentences also follow the same
transformations as the sentences with the connectives. In most of such
compound sentences there is optional deletion of the connectives such as
/d€/,
/wr/
etc. Examples are:
|
|
wo
|
ní
|
y
|
lo €
|
|
