mark: marker
The mark relation applies to a function word that marks a subordinate clause. It can be distributed at its beginning (1,3) or at its end (2,4). We take a broad definition of “subordinate” to include adverbial clauses of any kind (see advcl).
For relative clauses, nominalized clauses, and adjectives formed with 嘅 ge3, see mark:rel. For the manner adverbializer 噉 gam2, see mark:adv.
