'I'll kill it-MaSg for you-MaSg.' (R)When the verb is preceded by a particle such as Negative or Future, the
usual pattern is that all the clitics are hosted by the particle. However, I have
occasionally recorded examples where one pronominal clitic follows the
particle and the other follows the verb. This is the case in (688.a), an optional
alternative to (688.b).
