Modifier phrases: The particle pi

• pi: Particle that indicates the beginning of a modifier phrase

One can use phrases as modifiers for a head noun instead of single content words.

Modifier phrases are not predicates, and they can't contain a direct object, so the particles "li" and "e" will not appear in them

• mun seli pi suno wawa - Burning star which emits a great shine
• mun seli wawa - Powerful burning star
