Causality Causality is expressed by the element ga, which is treated as though it were a verbal stem that might be translated by To Be The Cause Of. This stem does not lose its terminal a. It takes pronominal, prenominal, and possessive forms, just like other verbs. d'laEl lE'ng'aa gal's Ld'la it is said, he longed really the cause is his (= on account of his) sweetheart 23.12 (d'la really;-cla quotative; lE'ngaa to long; iA'la sweetheart) (la'mEn) lE'ng aa qa's I long on account of you 25.1 goes wd'Usmos on account of your words 285.42 laE'm'lae cyd'x'SEme nd'gaeyas K!wek!waxa'swaee goes Emo'we then the mind of K!wek!waxa' wee was bad on account of his friend 291.34 (la auxiliary verb;-Em and;- Za it is said; eya'x'SEm bad; nd'qe mind; 'nEmo'k friend) gag in wa'ldEm-Ltk' on account of this my future word 115.31 gad'xda mdts'.agex on account of these four sticks 139.22.
