initial verb. Instead of intonation contour, the symbol (=)<br />

will be used to indicate that the verbs connected with this<br />

symbol are serialized.<br />

In the following example, the verbs neuk 'want to' and<br />

rhah 'to wash' are pronounced as a single unit without a<br />

break. The proclitic gsu- '3r' can only be used with the<br />

initial verb neuk 'want to.'<br />

9. Ureueng nyan geu-neuk*(*geu-)rhah jaroe-geuh.<br />

Person that 3r-want 3r-wash hand-3r<br />

' That person is going to wash his hands.'<br />

When an enclitic is used, it is used with the last verb<br />

or adjective. Just as the proclitic on the initial verb, the<br />

enclitic on the last verb or adjective belongs to the entire<br />

series of verbs. For example, both jaoa 'to be awake' and<br />

teunqeut 'sleeping' take an optional enclitic, but when the<br />

two verbs are serialized, the enclitic is only used with the<br />

last member.<br />

10. Di lon ban jaga(*-lon)»teungeut(-lon).<br />

SFC I just awake-1 sleep-1<br />

'I have just got up from bed.'<br />

jaoa teunqeut is the reduced form of jaoa nibak<br />

teungeut 'to be awake from sleeping.' This full form is also<br />

sometimes used, as in (11).
