Definition
the combination of clauses in complex sentence constructions, and of coordinands in coordinate constructions (whether the coordinands are clauses or not), by simple juxtaposition. Example: in Lavukaleve ngabakala ngauia tula [my:paddle my:knife small] 'my paddle and my small knife', the coordinate construction is asyndetic. (Section 15.2.2)
