How about dependent clauses on either half of an SAO?
I can't understand this. Could you write an example ?
*jIghungchoHDI' jISop 'e' Dalegh jISop jIghunchoHDI' 'e' Dalegh* /You see me eat when I become hungry./ *jISoptaH mInDu'lIj DapoSmoHDI' 'e' Dalegh jISoptaH 'e' Dalegh mInDu'lIj DapoSmoHDI'* /When you open your eyes, you see me eating./ Now, for sanity's sake, I probably wouldn't embed the dependent clause in the middle of these sentences like this, but there's no actual rule preventing me from doing so. And all of these sentences contain some kind of ambiguity, but "might be ambiguous" is not a reason for something to be ungrammatical. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
