Hi Jesús,

To Prof Coupe's typology, I would like to add TB languages that use a
combination of a 'before' marker and negation (this also applies to formal
French to some extent), e.g. in Common Tibetan (this is a sentence I made
up (but checked by my Tibetan teacher) so please don't cite this - I can
look for examples in published data later :P)

ཁོང་གིས་ ཆིབ་བསྒྱུར་ མ་ གནང་ གོང་ལ་ ངས་ ཕྱག་རྟགས་ གཅིག་ འཕུལ་ རྩིས་ཡོད།
khong=gis chib.bsgyur ma gnang gong=la nga=s phyag.rtags 'phul rtsis.yod
3sg=ERG go.HON NEG LV.HON top/before=LOC 1sg=ERG present.HON give.HON
plan-EGO
'I plan to give him a present before he goes.'

Regards,
Ryan
