statement = statement-1 | prenex statement statement-1 = statement-2 [[I joik-jek [[statement-2]] ... statement-2 = statement-3 [[I [[jek | joik] [[stag] BO # [[statement-2]] statement-3 = sentence | [[tag] TUhE # text-1 /TUhU#/ subsentence = sentence | prenex subsentence ''text-1'' has already been reduced in Step 1 to ''paragraphs''. If there is a ''paragraphs'', proceed to Step 4 and reduce it to statement. Then: [[tag] TUhE # statement /TUhU#/: is reduced to "[[tag ku zo'u] statement" which is a ''statement''. Now, starting from the innermost statement-2, and using the appropriate gek= [[SE] GA [[NAI] # | joik GI # | stag gik: sentence [[I [[jek | joik] [[stag] BO # [[sentence]]: is reduced to "gek sentence gik sentence". *__Note__: the above transformation can't be done if both "(jek | joik)" and "stag" are present, because gek can only cover one of them. For example {broda i ja ba bo brode} has to be somehow both {ga broda gi brode} and {ba gi broda gi brode}. One way to deal with this would be to connect those two with {ge ... gi ...}, but that involves repeating the sentences, which means things like anaphora have to be dealt with first, as they can't be simply repeated. Once all ''statement-2'' have been reduced to ''sentence'', we proceeed with ''statement-1'': sentence [[I joik-jek [[sentence]]: is reduced to "gek sentence gik sentence" (a form of ''sentence''). That leaves: statement = sentence | prenex statement which means that ''statement'' has been reduced to ''subsentence''.
