There are two major connectives. One binds only NPs together, while the other binds a NP or adjunct (e.g. evidentials) and a clause together. The first type of connective, called the ''min''-connective, is used most notably for creating possessive phrases. The ''min''-connective also performs other functions. The other is called the ''wa''-connective and is used to bind adjuncts to clauses. The two connectives are described in further detail below. | There are two major connectives.
