13.1.1.5 'until...'(har, ar)Finite 'until...' clauses are expressed with initial adverbial conjunction har
'until' (dialectally ar, e.g. R dialect), which also occurs in adverbial phrases in
the spatial sense 'all the way to ...'. The verb may be perfective, usually PerfP
(for realis mood), as in (800.a,c), or imperfective, usually Shlmpf (for future
time reference, usually entailing irrealis mood), as in (800.b,d-e). A second-
position clitic inside the 'until...' clause is hosted by har (ar).
