2.1.2.5. Argument clauses
Clauses can be used as grammatical objects in TİD. Two word orders occur with argument clauses: SOV and SVO. The SOV word order occurs with WANT-type main verbs. We show the clausal object with square brackets. See also [Syntax – 3.3.2.1. and 3.3.2.2].
elak ixk [good school go] much want
‘Ela wants to go to a good school very much.’
(Göksel and Kelepir 2016: 71)
ix1 [book read] be_crazy_about.
‘I am crazy about reading books.’

Other embedding verbs which follow a clausal object are:
like
want
begin
go
forget
The SVO order occurs with know-type verbs. The argument clause below, shown in square brackets follows the main clause verb know:
alik selfk think [ayşe rest]
‘Ali himself thinks Ayle is resting.’
