-Placing {{Tone|5}} on a verb starts a content clause, which lasts until the end of the clause it's in, or until the [[terminator]] {{t|cy}}.
+Placing {{T|ꝡä}} before a verb starts a content clause, which lasts until it reaches into something that cannot be a part of it. In other words, trying to fill non-existent slots will terminate the clause (Example 2), but adding [[adverbial]]s will not (Example 1).
-{{Example|Zảı jí {{green|jîa bủ rủqshua}} da.|I hope {{green|that it won't rain}}.}}
+{{Example|Zaı jí, {{green|ꝡä bu ruqshua râo níchaq}} da.|I hope {{green|that it won't rain today}}.}}
-{{Example|Cả {{green|shêokuq nháo cy}} sıa sủao da.|{{green|That she apologized [END]}} causes nothing important.}}
+{{Example|Sua, {{green|ꝡä marao íme}}, ꝡä jaı nháo.|{{green|That we dance}} is necessary for them to be happy.<br><small>({{t|Marao}} doesn't have a second slot, so {{t|ꝡä jaı nháo}} must belong to the outer clause.)</small>}}

 == Properties ==
-'''[[Property|Properties]]''' are expressed in Toaq as {{tone|5}} content clauses containing {{t|ja}}.
+'''[[Property|Properties]]''' are expressed in Toaq with {{t|lä}}.
 These correspond roughly to "non-finite" clauses in English that lack a subject, formed using "to" or "-ing":
-{{Example|Sủe nháo mí Ảna {{green|sôa ja fúy}} da.|He asked Ana {{green|to help him}}.}}
+{{Example|Sue nháo mí Ana, {{green|lä soa já nháo}} da.|He asked Ana {{green|<u>to help</u> him}}.}}
-{{Example|Rỉu jí {{green|gûaı tì núokua ja}} da.|I resume {{green|working in the bedroom}}.}}
+{{Example|Rıu jí, {{green|lä guaı tî núokua já}} da.|I resume {{green|<u>working</u> in the bedroom}}.}}
-{{Example|Kủaı jí {{green|mâı sa pỏq ja}} da.|I desire {{green|to be loved by someone}}.}}
+{{Example|Kuaı jí, {{green|lä maı sá poq já}} da.|I desire {{green|<u>to be loved</u> by someone}}.}}
