Each clause, including the first one, that forms a concurrent clause chain must be marked by the Concurrent affix ''-(a)ssek-'', and are joined together by the Subordinative ''-mā'' suffix (see the "Terminatives" section below). The Concurrent I form appears in the first clause of the chain, whose subject must be in the Absolutive, and for all other clauses that whose Absolutive arguments are coreferent with the Absolutive of the first clause; thus it is used in S/O pivots. The Concurrent II form appears only if the S/O pivot must be broken, where the core arguments exchange roles or a new argument assumes the Absolutive role. The Concurrent II form never appears in the first clause. | |||
