Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.
Klallam Grammar

17 Conjunction: ‘And/with,’ ‘but/without,’ and ‘or’

Conjunction is when two words or phrases are joined together. English has several small words used for this purpose, such as ‘and,’ ‘but,’ and ‘or.’

Klallam has one multipurpose conjunction: ʔiʔ. This little word is used in meanings like ‘and’ and ‘but,’ and it is also used in many cases where English uses ‘with.’ Actually ʔiʔ can be used in a number of ways that do not translate directly into English. In §17.1 we  cover the basic use of ʔiʔ meaning ‘and’ or ‘with,’ and in §17.2 we cover its combination with a prefix ʔuʔ to mean ‘but’ or ‘without.’ In Klallam the notion of ‘or’ is a bit more complicated. There are at least two ways of expressing it. These will be introduced in §17.3.
