Datapoint Sri Lanka Portuguese/Nominal and verbal conjunction

NP coordination uses kum. VP coordination uses the "conjunctive participle", a South Asian areal feature. The unmarked conjunctive participle in Sri Lanka Portuguese is identical to the verb stem; the perfective conjunctive participle is marked with the suffix -tu (which has no other function).
Clausal coordination is most frequently unmarked. The particle taam 'also; even' may also be used.
