The ''Wa''-Connective clitic appears either at the head of a clause, or at the end of a final clause, usually doubling any consonant that follows. The ''Wa''-connective is therefore divided into two classes of constructions, based on the location of the particle in the sentential complex. The first classification is known as the Preposed ''Wa''-Construction” in which the ''Wa''= clitic appears at the head of a clause, and the second classification is called the Postposed ''Wa''-Construction, because it appears in the final position of the last clause of a sentential complex. Their structures are therefore different, as illustrated in the following table: | The ''Wa''-Connective clitic appears either at the head of a clause, or at the end of a final clause, usually doubling any consonant that follows.
