Waama, topic, contrafactual, conditional, morphologyResumo
The particle ka in Waama has an underlying conditional function, and serves most frequently to set up possible worlds in the minds of interlocutors. By virtue of its function as a conditional, it can also mark topics. It occurs as the basis of conditional-type structures, including conditionals, contrafactuals, and concessions. It also serves to express options, exceptions, and complements of some verbs of uncertainty. When functioning within a discourse, ka may also serve to introduce an adverbial time clause which recapitulates given information.Métricas
