Finally, some utterance predicates that have already been pointed out, using

the !क /ki/ strategy, especially those concerning "thinking", can equally well be
considered desiderative, as shown in (21).

13.1.3 Complement-taking manipulation predicates
a) Permissive predicates

When the verb दे /de/ 'give' is used as complement-taking verb 'let', it occurs in
two different constructions, both with permissive semantics. One is the verbal noun

strategy, also occurring in various other complement clauses, followed by the
postposition के /ke/ 'to', as shown in (22a-b). This is used in the indicative.

(22) a. कउअन के आम ना खाए देवे खाितर ऊ हरदम गुलेती चलावत रहेला ।
