and both take the contingent verbal form denoting the subjunctive mood
expressing the wish, desire etc. In such sentences the second clause

Sentences showing catenative action i.e. clauses with /gє/
|

A single sentence can show many actions in a sequence is the language.
All the penultimate actions are marked by /gє/
occurring after the bare verbal stem. This /gє/

functions as adverbial in the complex sentence. When more than one /gє/
clause precede the final clause showing the ultimate action then the order
will also denote the sequential order of the action. Examples are :
