Themsaran verbs display so-called ''first-conjunct'' agreement as common amongst VSO languages, i.e. when the verb precedes a subject composed of two or more conjunctive noun phrases (in the form ''A ie B ie C''), the verb will agree with the first NP. With 'or' conjunctions (''at'' or ''nu'') in the subject, the verb agrees with the nearest subject. In the case of coordinated objects the verb agrees with the first contiguous noun phrase (i.e. 'and' has higher precedence than 'or'). | |||
