Georgian coordinators

Georgian conjoins noun phrases with the free word da 'and' before the second coordinand, with the enclitic -c 'also, too' on each coordinand, or with both, the enclitic on each coordinand and da between them: in the examples of Bill and colleagues, vashl-i da banan-i, vashl-i-c, banan-i-c and vashl-i-c da banan-i-c all mean 'the apple and the banana'. Disjunction is an 'or' and the adversative coordinator is magram 'but', as Hewitt lists them with da.

Main definitions

• Georgian.Coordination.da, Georgian.Coordination.c: the conjunctive coordinator and the additive enclitic that conjoins when repeated.
• Georgian.Coordination.an, Georgian.Coordination.magram: the disjunctive and the adversative coordinator.
