VUhOI |
| definition |
opening bracket for VUhO |
| notes |
The binary choice of "VUhO or no VUhO" in the official grammar makes it impossible for instance to say "lo broda .e lo brode .e bo lo brodi" and attach a relative clause (or phrase) only to "lo brode .e bo lo brodi". Either only "lo brodi" receives a relative clause/phrase (simply NOI/GOI) or the entire threesome (VUhO NOI/GOI). The function of VUhOI is as an "elidable starter" - the reverse of an elidable terminator: it explicitly marks the scope of a relative clause/phrase. If elided, it extends as far as possible (equivalent to regular VUhO and consistent with elidable terminators). Examples: "lo broda .e lo brode .e bo ([VUhOI] lo brodi [VUhO] noi brodo)"; "([VUhOI] lo broda .e lo brode .e bo lo brodi vu'o noi brodo)"; "lo broda .e (vu'oi lo brode .e bo lo brodi vu'o noi brodo)". While VUhOI is elidable, it is not possible to say VUhOI and then elide VUhO; consider "vu'oi lo broda .e [VUhOI] lo brode [VUhO] noi brodo [KUhO] vu'o noi brodu" as a counterexample. See also: vu'o. |
