Abstract
Abstract Jarawara has just one type of complement clause (and a minor complementation strategy, for indirect speech). If the last vowel in the predicate is a, this is raised to i as a mark that it is a complement clause (note that all syllables are CV and there are four vowels, i, e, a, and o). Throughout this chapter, the predicate (of a main clause or of a complement clause) is enclosed within braces, { . . . }, a multi-word NP within square brackets, [ ...] and—as else-where in the volume—a complement clause within angle brackets, < ... >.
