a ʔa³³(Breath Group Marker)(唬吸群)/hǔxīqún/Arleixr hher a, ni ngua dax lei a, ngua dax cirgo a, almeixr zzor lei ngo. 过一会儿,你来我家,跟我们一起,吃饭吧。After a while, come (visit) with us, (and) with us, come eat please.1. When clauses are juxtaposed, this marker functions as a coordinating conjunction or the link between breath groups. These breath group markers often occur at the clause boundaries but not always. When the marker joins clauses together, it tends to be pronounced as the near-open front vowel [æ], accompanied by rising intonation. When this marker occurs at the end of a sentence, the pronunciation changes slightly to the open front vowel [a] position and is accompanied by end-of-sentence falling intonation.
