====Temporal | ====Temporal Deictic Clitics==== | ||
The Temporal Deitic clitics are usually attached to the first word of a sentence. In multiclausal sentences, the clause in which they appear have scope over the elements following it. At least one, ''=yorai'', cannot appear after the initial clause. These clitics may also be attached to the primary verb, and in the process replace the auxiliary tense particles. | |||
