mark: marker
A marker is the word marking a clause as subordinate to another clause. For a complement clause, these are the nominalizer sa, the complementizer ǃkhaisa, and the quotative ti . For an adverbial clause, the markers are the subordinate conjunctions, such as o (clause final) “when, if” and î “so that”. For a relative clause, the marker is the relative subordinate conjunction hîa/hina. The marker is a dependent of the subordinate clause head.
