Géarthnuns is like this; "kfö" for clauses and verbs, "zhö" to connect anything else: nouns, adjectives, adverbs, postpositional phrases...

Yep, you could. Dominus ex equo descendit, villamque intravit. The master got off his horse and went into the house. Incidentally, Géarthnuns "zhö" acts the way it does because I either did not know or forgot about this use of -que back in high school. Kou
