10.4 Ordering of clitics 611clitic is 1P1 Dative Aha-najr (T-ka variant of Aha-naer). This is the correct
location for pronominal clitics (object, dative). In (68l.b), we have an even
more complex sequence with cliticized preposition, dative pronominal, object
pronominal, and directional. For further detail on the relative ordering of
object and dative clitics when more than one is present, see (684) below.
Directional clitics follow pronominals. The two directionals (Centripetal
Asdd or -\idd, and Centrifugal -Yin) are semantically incompatible and do not
co-occur. Both directionals have marked accents, unlike other clitics (which
have at most default accents). In (681.a), Centrip Aadd appears at the end of
the second word, then again (redundantly) on the third word. A simpler
example is (682).(682) osa-\0-hi-\dd
arrive.PerfP-\0-lSg-\Centrip
'He came to me.'In (683.a), we see that a pronominal PP (here 3Sg locative Adsr-as) is
cliticized, but follows the directional, here Centrifugal -Yin. (683.b) shows
dative, then Centripetal, then pronominal PP. However, in (683.c), from a Κ
speaker, the PP precedes 3MaSgO clitic At, suggesting that the linear position
of pronominal PP's is not completely rigid cross-dialectally.(683) a. t-3tiraekka2-t-\m-\d3Y-3s t-ett-annet

function is shown by the fact that two dative clitics, or a sequence object-
