Re: Conjunctions

Siyo!
I don't have all the Kayasanoda conjunctions worked
out yet, but here's a sketch of what I do have.

What ones I have are built on the root "hi".  As a
suffix this means "with", assuming that the word it is
attached to has a subordinate relation to the word it
precedes.  "Hi" also stands alone as the word "and".
And it also stands alone with unagglutinated roots to
create complex connectives:
hi momo: "for" (eg using X for Y = [using] X hi momo
Y)-- momo="for" as in exchange
hi leso: "because"--leso="reason"
hi line: "instead of"--line="not"
and so forth.
