because someone (or something) comes to...

The pattern ...Tfl E] o] consists of two constructions,

5] and o j . The element

o] is the shortened form of the conjunction o\ A-), where Aj is optionally deleted. The conjunctive o](a-|) in the pattern ...t|]

expresses a causal relation between the

conjunctive clause and the main (or concluding) clause, meaning 'because' or 'since'. The construction

£) cj- denotes a situation which is brought about by certain

circumstances, meaning someone (or something) comes to ...', or 'someone (or something) is scheduled to ...', where an action verb stem is used with this construction. Thus, the pattern

...7\]

5]

means 'because someone (or something)

comes to ...', since (because) someone (or something) is scheduled to ...', or 'because (since) one (something) happens to ...'.
