23. Di lon rhet ulee dilee.<br />

SFC I fall head first<br />

T fell down head first.'<br />

When an enclitic is used in such a phrase, "it is<br />

generally floated to the end of the phrase. Adverbs of time<br />

do not usually form a phonological unit with verbs, and as<br />

such, the enclitic is not floated to them, but rather to the<br />

words before them, as in (24).<br />

24. Gopnyan rhet lam parek-geuh baroe.<br />

He, fall in ditch-3, yesterday<br />

'He fell into the ditch yesterday.'<br />

25. Si nyak ban jaga teungeut-jih.<br />

Title baby just awake sleep-3y<br />

'The baby has just got up.'<br />

Sometimes the enclitics cannot be floated to the end of<br />

the phrase although the entire phrase is a unit as described<br />

above. This is the case when the last word is a degree word<br />

or adverb of frequency.<br />

26. a) Gopnyan palak-geuh that.<br />

' He is very frustrated.'<br />

b)*Gopnyan palak that-geuh<br />
