Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: According to \citet{Stassen2008} this \textstyleEmphasizedWords{{Conjoined Comparative}} strategy, exemplified\linebreak above, is prevalent in Australia and New Guinea. But the sample of New Guinean languages used for the generalization is very small (and includes both Austronesian and Papuan languages), and I suggest that at least for \textstyleAcronymallcaps{tng} languages the \textstyleEmphasizedWords{{Exceed Comparative}}, the strategy represented in that sample only by Amele \citep[134--135]{Roberts1987}, is a possible alternative and may actually be as common as, or more common than, the Conjoined Comparative strategy.\footnote{My opinion is mainly based on the experience of working with national translators. When searching for translation equivalents for comparison forms, they often start with the Conjoined Comparative pattern, but very soon after realising that they do not have to stay within the limits of stative clauses only or stick to the adjective class, many actually tend to prefer the Exceed Comparative as the more natural and accurate expression for comparison. \citet[68]{Reesink1987} mentions both of these mechanisms for Usan. } There are two clauses in this pattern too: one may be equative and contain an adjective, the other is a transitive clause containing the verb \textstyleStyleVernacularWordsItalic{nomak}- `exceed/surpass' as the predicate and the standard of comparison as the object \REF{ex:6:x1327}--\REF{ex:6:x1333}. The order of the two clauses is free.
