PREPOSITIONAL SYNTAGME

Prep. [Term]

Prepositions ending in u and i, when preceded by terms beginning in a vowel, are realized as wau and yod, while, when preceded by terms beginning in a consonant, they are realized as [u] and [i]. For example iu ("in") and an'hi ("through"):

iu boael ("in a river"; ['i.u.'bo.a.el])

an'hi boael ("through a river"; ['an.hi.'bo.a.el])

iu'oketoi ("in a sea"; [i.wo.'ke.to.i])

an'hëketoi ("through a sea"; [an.hjo.'ke.to.i])

RELATIVE SUBORDINATION

Subordination is made from five conjunctions: ui (when the antecedent is a subject in the relative), tanai (when the antecedent is an accusative complement in the relative), kunai (when the antecedent is an ergative complement in the relative), hron (when the antecedent is a locative complement in the relative) and яst (when the antecedent fulfills any other function in the relative).
