'When the old woman returned after bathing, the boy himself climbed on

the thatched roof after serving meat and rice before her.' (05.054)
While the subsequential reading is contextually implicit rather than explicit in

the examples given so far, a separate temporal conjunction जब /jʌb/ or जब !क /jʌb ki/

'when' can also be added to त /tʌ-/ construction to make this reading obvious, and also
distinguish it more clearly from simple clause chaining, as shown in (29a-b).
