Definition
A Bangla CV sequence is a two-member construction in which the first member (V1)
chooses between the usual conjunctive participial form -e and the (rare, for this construction) infinitive form -te while the second member (V2) bears the inflection. For simplicity it is normal to consider finite examples:
āshā ekamāse ekaṭā goṭā bai likhe phelala
“Asha wrote a whole book in one month (implying Asha's ability to do so)”
| ekamāse |
| ekamās | e |
| one_month | ATV |
| N |
| likhe |
| likh | e |
| write | CONJPTCP |
| V1 |
| phelala |
| phela | la |
| drop | 3PPAST |
| V2 |
