Whilst applicatives are preferred to adjuncts, Tevrés explicitly disallows multiple applicatives, that is, multiple applicative prefixes attached to a single verb. Thus, **''çi garinon co-en-llavó lla | Whilst applicatives are preferred to adjuncts, Tevrés explicitly disallows multiple applicatives, that is, multiple applicative prefixes attached to a single verb. Thus, **''çi garinon co-en-llavó lla sarvaja'' is ungrammatical. In cases where two or more object arguments must be added to a clause, one argument is expressed through a normal applicative voice, and the others will be introduced in adjuncts; usually prepositional phrases. Which argument takes the applicative voice is determined by a straightforward hierarchy chain. The highest argument on the chain takes the applicative, while the others adjuncts. | ||
