I really like this explanation.
I’ll only append that rather than at the sentence level, I think adverbials apply to the clause level.
Yes, in all Klingon studies, the words /sentence/ and /clause /are nearly synonymous, and whenever I say "sentence," I really mean "sentence or clause," with the understanding that in Klingon studies, a "clause" is one of the structures described in TKD as basic sentences, subordinate clauses (including relative clauses and purpose clauses), "to be" constructions, comparatives and superlatives, and that sentences can be single clauses or compound clauses as described in TKD as complex sentences. So you'll forgive me if I routinely compress all that down to "sentence" in exactly the same way TKD does. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
