<p>Dear Adam,<br>
</p>
<p>The following Tagalog sentence was a ubiquitous campaign slogan
during the 1986 presidential elections in the Philippines (in
support of incumbent candidate Ferdinand Marcos and his infamous
wife Imelda):</p>
<p>(1) Mag Marcos at Marcos tayo <br>
TOPFOC.IMPF Marcos and Marcos 1PL.INCL.TOP<br>
'Let's Marcos and Marcos'<br>
</p>
In (1), the conjunction "Marcos at Marcos" is in the scope of "Mag",
which expresses topic-focus voice and also imperfect aspect. <br>
<br>
In standard Tagalog orthography, "mag" (and other similar forms) are
written joined on to their following hosts, though in recent social
media I've noticed that occasionally they are written separately.
In the following article, I used evidence from a ludling to argue
that "mag" and other similar forms are clitics rather than prefixes:<br>

On the other hand, I think it is pretty clear that these forms are
not separate words, though obviously this needs to be argued for
explicitly ...<br>
<br>
I suspect that somebody with a better knowledge of Tagalog could
come up with additional examples such as (1).<br>

found in Chacobo the bound affix/clitics vary in terms of
