Part 2 — Chapter IX. The Conjunction.
Reading edition
The only Subordinate Conjunctions are: 1. གལ་ཏེ་ ‘if’, introducing conditional sentences ending in ན་ (41. A. 4). But, as the conditional force really rests on the closing ན་, the initial གལ་ཏེ་ may be put or omitted at pleasure; 2. ཅི་སྟེ་ ‘but if’; གལ་ཏེ་ནུས་ན༌༌༌༌ ‘if I can …’, ཅི་སྟེ་མི་ནུས་ན་ ‘but if not …’; this last is found only in books.
