There’s a difference in relationship between compound sentences and sentences with clauses. You can drop the {‘ej} and both statements make sense independent of one another — the conjunction serves to link them logically.
With the -meH (or a -moH) statement, both parts of the sentence are intrinsically interrelated you can’t separate them apart and have them make sense without one another.
That's true, but not relevant. I am illustrating why you can't just see the word /sentence/ and automatically know what you're talking about, not that purpose clauses and compound sentences are the same thing. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
