For non-coreferent arguments as the O-argument, the other dialects nominalize the non-focus clause (the clause containing the secondary core argument of the entire discourse unit<sup>7</sup>) embedded in the matrix clause, which corresponds to focus clause. The verb of the non-focus clause must also be transitivized by the Comitative Applicative ''-kan-''. Other valence operations, such as NI and AF take place as necessary to maintain the S/O pivot which corresponds to the focus clause. | |||
