===Conjunctions===
There are 3 enclitic conjunctions appearing at the end of the last fully inflected noun in a string. When the enclisis makes a new consonant cluster, the accented syllable sympathetically moves to the new penult (old ultimate), if not already there by nature (cf. sentence '''4)''' below).
#'''-kX/gX''', "and"
#'''-wX/wX''', exclusive "or"
#'''-li''', inclusive "or"
