ABSTRACT

The function of the clausal conjunctive ~ἶ is twofold. First, it simply connects two different clauses, regardless of their sequence. It corresponds to “and” in English. Consider the following examples:

㩲┞䗒Ṗ 㼃㏢䞮ἶ ⰺ䓲Ṗ 㣪Ⰲ䟊㣪. “Jennifer cleans up, and Matthew cooks.” ⰺ䓲Ṗ 㣪Ⰲ䞮ἶ 㩲┞䗒Ṗ 㼃㏢䟊㣪. “Matthew cooks, and Jennifer cleans up.”
