As above said, in all the various uses of adjuncts.
Those ending in an adnounal participle qualify nouns;
those ending in an adverbial participle, in the con-
cessive subjunctive or infinitive moods, or in the
oblique case of a verbal or participial noun, qualify
verbs. Hence sub-sentences of any kind may, like words,
be adjuncts of either the subject or the predicate.
1. Ex: (Adnounal participial sub-sentence.) 'keṭṭiyiṭṭa' náyikku
kuppayellám chór̥u (=the sweepings are food to the dog
'which people have tied up').
2. (Adverbial participial sub-sentences.) 'kízhóṭṭu póruván' étum
paṇiyilla [= it is no trouble 'for one to descend' (facilis de-
scensus etc.)]; 'móksham ozhińńu'karutáyka, ní étum (=eternal
liberation being excepted, be anxious about nothing).
3. (Subjunctive sub-sentence.) 'nirúpichchál' varuvánuḷḷa ápa-
ttu pókkámó? [= can an approaching misfortune be removed
by considering (lit. if we consider)?].
4. (Concessive sub-sentence.) 'uṇṇikiṭákkaḷ pizhachchu kál
vekkilum' kaṇṇinnu kautukam uṇṭám pitávinnu (= though in-
fants only totter along, it is a delight to the father.)
