/ji cIri cIr/ ‘until unless, till’ discontinuous co referential
connectives join the two clauses in which /ji cIr/
introduces the first clause and /i cIr/ begins the second clause. The
complex sentences so formed with these co referential connectives begin
with the conditional clause which also function as temporal adverbial of
the sentence. Examples are : |
| |
|
ji
|
cIr i
|

jItno---Itno/Utno ‘as much--as/ jItno--occurs with the clause
which is subordinate and Itno/Utno with the main clause. The subordinate

precede. Examples are: |
