A note about the conjunction ''suttu'': if one of the NPs being referred to is the ABS argument of a preceding nominalized clause, ''suttu'' or one of its allomorphs surfaces between the nominalization and the second NP argument before the Associative verb may be elided. As an alternative to ''Alan suttu Yešker wassakikmanaft, Ru'awwankan intasilapimmakikminesankilwašša!'', a ''suttu'' + Associative verb structure may be used, as in the following example: | A note about the conjunction ''suttu'': if one of the NPs being referred to is the ABS argument of a preceding nominalized clause, ''suttu'' or one of its allomorphs surfaces between the nominalization and the second NP argument before the Associative verb may be elided.
