It explains that two separate and complete sentences may be used to form 
a "complex sentence," either as a "compound sentence" (with a 
conjunction) or as a "sentence-as-object" (with {'e'} or {net}), but it 
doesn't say anything about treating the complex sentence as an 
indivisible whole afterward.


    bISoptaH pagh bItlhutlhtaH
    You are either eating or else you are drinking

    {bISoptaH} is a sentence.
    {bItlhutlhtaH} is a sentence.
    {bISoptaH pagh bItlhutlhtaH} is a sentence.


    qama'pu' DIHoH 'e' luSov
    the know we kill prisoners

    {qama'pu' DIHoH} is a sentence.
    {'e' luSov} is a sentence.
    {qama'pu' DIHoH 'e' luSov} is a sentence.


The individual pieces don't cease to be sentences even when the complex 
whole is also considered a sentence.
