[Lingtyp] Complex Source constructions (Maja Robbers)

[Eline Visser]

Hi Maja,

Kalamang (kgv), a Papuan language of West Bomberai (Indonesia), has this as well. I describe this on page 192-3 of the Kalamang grammar, which you can download here: https://portal.research.lu.se/portal/en/publications/a-grammar-of-kalamang(0773ce4b-7791-4667-8dae-ca598532ba89).html)

Best, Eline
