When "zunxumoma" is used, does it normally have a tense with it ("dasu" I assume), or is it complete alone?
Zunxumoma - Similarly, ..., Likewise, ..., In like manner, ....
Note that "Zunxumoma" is a verb that takes a single core
argument, even though the English translation requires a
fronted adverb.
Same question for the other verbal disjuncts:
Kedapoma - Furthermore, ..., Moreover, ..., Additionally, ..., In addition (to that), ..., Plus, ..., Besides, .... Note that "Kedapoma" is a verbal disjunct and takes a single clause for an argument.
Xedapema - However, ..., Even so, ..., Nevertheless, ..., But, Still, ..., Yet, Just the same, ..., Notwithstanding, ..., For all that, ..., that as it may, .... Note that "Xedapema" is a verbal disjunct and takes a single clause for an argument. Since this relationship is symmetrical, the anti-middle form "Xedapoma" has exactly the same meaning.
Daydapoma - Otherwise, ..., Alternatively, .... Note that "Daydapoma" is a verbal disjunct and takes a single clause for an argument.
