===Compound predicative expressions=== | |||
In a similar manner to the enclitical pronomials previously, the predicate may be incorporated into the subject of the clause, and produce a compound of sorts. The compounds are normally accompanied with a suffix '''''-y-''''' for phonological reasons: | |||
