[Tlhingan-hol] Adverbials

[Felix Malmenbeck]

This is discussed further in section 6.7 of the addendum (page 180), titled "Placement of adverbial elements".


Basically, with a handful of exceptions (such as {neH} and {jay'}), adverbials almost always precede the object-verb-subject part of the sentence, though it may be preceded by for example a time element (the given example is {DaHjaj nom Soppu'}, "Today they ate quickly".


On exception to this rule is that the adverbial may follow the object noun when it is topicalized with -'e'. The given example is {HaqwI''e' DaH yISam} ("Find the SURGEON now!").

In TKD section 5.4 p.55 it speaks of adverbials,and in page 56 follows a list,saying that these words come at the beginning of a sentence.

So the question arises..

The adverbials,which are to be placed at the beginning of a sentence,are only the ones listed on p.56,or any adverbial whatsoever too ?
