If I say naH ja'chuqghach, vaj jImejpu' 'e' vIwuq* The conversation was hostile, so I decided to leave, I'm saying the conversation's quality of hostility prompted me to leave, NOT that I left during the conversation. I might have left during the conversation or afterward. If I want to specify whether the leaving took place during or after the conversation, I have to express this with other words than the verbs:

Sorry, my footnote was going to be: yes, I know that this might technically need to be jImejpu' vaj 'e' vIwuq, but saying this obscures my point a little, and I'm not convinced that I can't put an adverbial in front of an entire sentence-as-object construction as its own sentence. So for the purposes of this discussion, I'm going to put the adverbial in front.
