Sentence level

Kovol sentences do not have much grammatical construction worth outlining here. It is more helpful to look at Communication relations to see relationships between propositions instead.

Time margin

Kovol sentences can take a time margin.

In these examples, the margins are shown in brackets and the sentence nucleus is unmarked.

  • (home) pinggot lobot "yesterday the helicopter came down"
  • (asamog) salibigom "this morning I got up"

The time margin has also been seen in this order:

pinggot (home) lobot "yesterday the helicopter came down". This suggests time is actually on the clause level, rather than sentence, but the distinction isn't important.
