Laefevian

o

The form o is typically used in non-contrastive contexts, or when the following word begins in a consonant (especially so before consonant clusters).

Inherited from Proto-Radic *o (some expressive particle).

o

and, so, then
Synonyms: ar, az, r' (poetic)

Stișeș-ast o râbeș.
He ate it and died.
and, but, whereas
Virșu sjuoþs lírúr svoroaș, o u nraos ljájúr.
My brother is three years old, and/but my sister is seven.

The conjunction o is only used to join clauses; when joining structures at phrase level, ar/az is used. This is not to be confused with its usage as a particle.
If o joins two clauses with the same subject, it is implied the latter event is subsequent and/or consequent.
- In this sense, the conjunction does not require a preceding comma.
U skanslieþs orezeș o lvoríneș.
The man sang and (then) (he) danced.

U skanslieþs orezeș az lvoríneș.
The man sang and danced (at the same time).

o

o

The particle acts as a proclitic. This is not to be confused with its usage as a conjunction.
In the sense of ‘also’, it cannot modify verbs themselves: o kaor is used for this purpose.
Lvoríneș o kaor.
She also danced.
- It can still be used before verbs in the sense of ‘even’, however.
As a particle, it does not require a preceding comma.
