Notice that the verb of the complement (a Class 1 verb)<br />

is used with a proclitic. The sentence will become<br />

ungrammatical if the proclitic is omitted, as in (b) below.<br />

b)*Lon-lumpoe geutanyoe ka buka toko.<br />

1-dream we inc PERF open shop<br />

'I dreamed that we had opened a shop.'<br />

When the complement begins with a predicate, as in the<br />

following, the intonation of this complement is the same as<br />

the intonation of a "predicate-subject" sentence (3.2.3).<br />

64. Lon-sangka neu-neuk jak u ke.«o.e* droeneuh.<br />

______ ____________ _~ a»______.^<br />

1-think 2r-want go to town your<br />

'I thought you were going to go to town.'<br />

All types of intonation patterns of independent<br />

sentences as discussed in 3.2, except those of yes/no<br />

questions, can be found in nvang-complements. depending on<br />

what sentence-types they are expressed. We can have a<br />

predicate intonation if the complement is a subjectless<br />

clause, as in (65), a topicalization intonation, as in (66),<br />

etc.<br />

65. Geu-peugah le ayah neu-neuk jak keuwawe u laot.<br />

3r-say by father 2r-want go fishing to sea<br />

'Father said that you wanted to go fishing to the<br />

sea.'
