Lango coordinators

Lango, a Nilotic language of Uganda, conjoins noun phrases with the free word kèdè before the second coordinand, cây kèdè càk 'tea and milk'. The same word is the comitative 'with', and Haspelmath gives the construction, from Noonan's grammar, as an example of a comitative-derived coordinator.
