advcl: adverbial clause modifier

An adverbial clause modifier is a clause which modifies a verb or other predicate (adjective, etc.), as a modifier not as a core complement. This includes things such as a temporal clause, consequence, conditional clause, purpose clause, etc. The dependent must be clausal (or else it is an advmod) and the dependent is the main predicate of the clause. The adverbial clauses have their own verb and subject.

A conditional adverbial clause in Malayalam has a finite verb suffixed with -eṅkil or -āl “if” as the dependent.

A nominalized verb form is the dependent for a manner adverbial clause.

For a consequence adverbial clause a nominalized verb form with the suffix -āl “because” is the dependent. In other cases, the postposition കൊണ്ട് koṇṭ can be found.
