Subordinate clauses. See TKD 6.2.2.<br>

Correct.<br>

You're thinking about this the wrong way.<br>
<br>
{'ej} *is* joining two sentence: {loghDaq leng} and {qo'mey Sar chargh}.<br>
<br>
By applying {-taHvIS} to the verb of a sentence, it becomes a<br>
subordinate clause. And what's the verb of the compound sentence<br>
{loghDaq leng 'ej qo'mey Sar chargh}? It has two verbs: {leng} and<br>
{chargh}.<br>
<br>
There's no contradiction here. There's an unstated (and I think pretty<br>
intuitive) rule that if a sentence is compound, the verb suffixes<br>
apply to all the relevant verbs.<br>
