Line 2,616:

Three types of participial clauses are used in Themsaran: attributive participle clauses, absolute participle clauses and adverbial participle clauses. All participles are negated with ''dār''.

Attributive participial clauses are used as relative clauses whose subject is the head. They ~~have~~ the same ~~reference time point~~ as the ~~main clause, like complement~~ clauses. Note that attributive participles take a possessive suffix; the possessor of a participle is the direct object if the participle is active, and is the agent if the participle is passive.

Attributive participial clauses are used as relative clauses whose subject is the head. They take the same tenses as the finite relative clauses. Note that attributive participles take a possessive suffix; the possessor of a participle is the direct object if the participle is active, and is the agent if the participle is passive.

In absolute participial clauses the participle is inflected into the predicative state. It can be used to give the general circumstances or purpose (with a future participle) of an event. Certain subordinating conjunctions may be used in tandem with such a participle as well.
