VI. SUBORDINATE CLAUSES

Clauses via amplification

1. Equivalent clauses

This includes coordinate clauses (those joined by "and", "or", "but") and some subordinate clauses. A few such conjunctions here are & (and), # (but) < ( before) and > (after). A space on either sides of these words is necessary.

Eg., _u v px # s -v u_
"you see the bird but it doesn't see you"

2. Interrogatives

2.1: Interrogative table

**Table 6**
Interrogitive/ demonstrative	Correlatives	Relative
{1} = what/who?
{2} = why?	{+} = for the same reason that	{*} = because
{3} = how?	{=} = "as"	{^} = by the means that
{4} = where?	{\|} = "where"
{5} = when?	{\} = "when"
{6} = how much/many?"	{:} = "as much as"

The last column, "relative" has the last 3 rows empty since an event (represented by the subordinate clause) can't serve as a place, time or quantity (but can serve as a reason or means).

Pronominal relatives/correlatives are treated in section 7.

The interrogatives are placed according to their PoS. However, whereas pronominal interrogatives behave like 0th generation words, adverbial and adjectival ones are prefixed to they VP or NP they qualify. A sentence initial "?" acts as sentence delimiter.

Demonstratives, which are used not spatially but to imply stress, are formed like interrogatives, except the initial _?_ is dropped. Some examples:

_u f+h_	===>	_?u 2f+h_
"you fear the being"		"why do you fear the being"

_u f+1_	===>	_u f+1h_
"whom do you fear?"		"you fear that/this being"

_px v u + i N u_

"the bird sees you for the same reason that I know you"

_px v u * i N u_

"the bird sees you because I know you"

2.2: Interrogative adjective

A prefixed _?_, which is inseperably bound, serves as the interrogative qualifier. It can be used as adjective and adverb. Example:

_?h N u_

"what being knows you?"

_h ?v s_

"how do you see it?"

Note that the last sentence is different from _3 h v s?_, also translated alike. The former questions manner, the latter the means. Thus, an answer to the former can be _t1_ "carefully"; while to the latter one could be _bn`m_ "by means of a binocular".
