Very nice page, a bit long to load though but maybe t'was my
computer. i would
like some more details re. the subclause:
i would understand /John nik useshunk in tereu euko ubichuvi tivosh/
as meaning
/[the fact] that [John wrote a book] is a bestseller/ because euko
follows the
verb /tereu/ and would refer to it.
>>
In my conlang, I would translate them thusly (insufficient vocab to
translate whole sentence! Oops :) :
The book that John wrote is a bestseller
book, NA John write.pst.3s bestseller be.3s
lit: The book, the one that John wrote is a bestseller
John who writes the book is an author
John NA(person) book write.3s author be.3s
lit: John, the person who writes the book is an author.
_na_ is a particle that functions ... well, as you see above.
Imperative
