247 Given that yam1m1a is transitive in this instance (i.e., note object muRa), we gloss it as ‘lament’, as opposed to
‘grieve’ in (6.36a). Note that yam1m1a is not attested as a transitive verb in modern Omagua.
248 In modern Omagua, the subject of a complement clause verb that is coreferential with the subject of the matrix
clause verb is elided. We do not know if the repetition of the coreferential pronominal proclitic was grammatical
in Old Omagua.
