‘Suffering for us, dying nailed to the cross.’<br />
(example (6.16b))<br />
2.3.7.5.2 =sep1 ‘because (<strong>of</strong>)’ The enclitic =sep1 is attested only twice in the ecclesiastical<br />
texts, and not at all in modern Omagua. It appears in the supporting clause <strong>of</strong> a biclausal sentence<br />
and expresses the reason for which the event <strong>of</strong> the main (focal) clause is realized, as in (2.72),<br />
where it exhibits the same distribution as =ikua (see the parallel response in (6.27b)). 95<br />

=reas<br />
‘He will take the good Christians to Heaven with their souls and with their bodies, so that<br />
they may live forever happy, due to the fact that they observed God’s commandments on<br />
this Earth.’<br />
(example (6.26b))<br />
Like =ikua, =sep1 is also attested attaching to a nominal element, in which case it licenses an<br />
oblique argument, as in (2.73).<br />

‘I will properly confess every sin. Because <strong>of</strong> my sins I will observe the priest’s instructions.’<br />
(example (7.5))<br />
95 Note that because =sep1 is not attested in modern Omagua, we cannot make any claims regarding its verb-final<br />
versus VP-final status.<br />
