THE CONJUNCTION. 
43 
mi des ngazhala chadpa phogvhugdug, who loves us, punishes us; nga garu 
thaddug, deru chen, where I please, there I shall go. 
This construction is not compulsory, and the following may always 
be used instead of it. 
2 . If the subordinate sentence contains an attributive adjunct to the 
subject, object, or an adverbial adjunct of the principal sentence, then the 
verb of the subordinate sentence takes the genitive of the present or past 
participle—according to the meaning of the sentence —and is placed before 
that part of speech to which it belongs. Example : I beat the man who 
does wrong. Here c who does wrong ’ is attribute to £ man,’ and so we say : 
I beat the wrong doing man, digpa cokhanni mila rdungdug. 
Note.— If a subordinate sentence expressing the subject is constructed according 
to 2, the participle cannot be put in the genitive, but must be used as an indepen¬ 
dent subject in the nominative or instrumental. Example: ngazhala yasha co* 
khannis ngazhala chadpa phogchugdug, he who loves us, punishes us. 
3. A conditional sentence is very much like a relative sentence under 
1. Then galte , if, takes the place of the relative, and the sentence is con¬ 
cluded with na. This galte , however, is generally left out ; when used, it 
emphasizes the ‘ if.’ Example : galte ngai tsa yongna, zaces thobin, if you 
come to me, you will get food. 
4. Subordinate sentencesi ntroduced by the conjunctions * although * 
or ‘ in spite of ’ are constructed like conditional sentences, and yang , also, 
is added to the na. Example : ngala zu?mo yodnayang (naang ), nga aru 
songbin, although I had pain, I went there, 
5. Sentences introduced by ‘just as,—so,’ are construed similarly to 
the relative sentences, the subordinate sentence beginning with gazng, 
gazugla, gazuggis, the principal sentence with dezug, dezuggis. Example : 
gazuggis las cona (or corug), dezuggis khyorangla Tila thobin, as you 
work, so you will get wages. 
6. To express the idea of simultaneousness (conjunctions 1 while, 
when, whilst’), we may use the following forms : 
(u) inzhig or inzhigdang (see Gerund in in) is joined to the stem of 
the verb. Example: las de coinzhigdang kho hleb, whilst I did 
that work, he came. ^ 
(6) The verb takes the classical supine in a, and the ending zamshigla 
is added. Example : las de coa zamshigla kho hleb, whilst I 
did the work (at that very moment) he arrived.
