Syntactic clitics are morphemes that attach to the first word of a verb phrase in order to subordinate them in some manner into another verb phrase. Syntactic clitics include the archiphoneme /ː/, which lengthens the clitic's vowel when the following morpheme consists of only a consonant and, when the following morpheme is syllabic, geminates the following consonant. | |||

The essive or equative clitic '''''we(:)-''''' introduces a verb phrase that modifies its preceding head in a strict, additive manner. It is frequently translated into English by means of a relative pronoun. | The essive or equative clitic '''''we(:)-''''' introduces a verb phrase that modifies its preceding head in a strict, additive manner.

All referents are assigned a '''status''' any time they are appear as the subject of a clause. Status is not a permanent attribute of a referent but rather a context-dependent assignment within a discourse that depends on the speaker's perceived and expressed relations between the referent and other referents. When a single referent is mentioned, the status used depends only on the speaker's perception of the referent, however when there are two or more referents, statuses may be assigned that would otherwise not be used in order to differentiate between multiple referents within a discourse and rank them relative to one another. | All referents are assigned a '''status''' any time they are appear as the subject of a clause.
