conj: conjunct
A conjunct is the relation between two or more elements connected by a coordinating conjunction, such as tsî “and”, tamas ka io “or”, etc. We treat coordination asymmetrically: The head of the relation is the first conjunct and other conjuncts depend on it via the conj relation.
ǁîb ge ǃomkha tsî ǁnâuǃāba ge mā . \n He DECL hands and intellect PST give .
conj(ǃomkha, ǁnâuǃāba)
conj(hands, intellect)

conj(Watters-1, Donovan-5)
cc(Donovan-11, and)
punct(Cowan-9, ,-8)

A conjunct relation is also used with the the additional tsî “and” + person-gender-number clitic.
Maras tsî Saras tsî ra ge ra ǀaere . \n Mara and Sara and 3F.DU DECL IPFV collect_firewood .
conj(Maras, Saras)
conj(Maras, ra-5)
conj(Mara, Sara)
conj(Mara, 3F.DU)
Coordinated clauses are treated the same way as coordination of other constituent types:
Hoaraga khoen ge nî ǃhui te tsî ta ge nî ǂoaǃnâ . \n All people DECL FUT hate me and I DECL will lose .
conj(ǃhui, ǂoaǃnâ)
cc(ǂoaǃnâ, tsî)
conj(hate, lose)
cc(lose, and)
