	Split-agreement and ergativity in Pashto
		Compound verbs show that agreement is yet more complicated than suggested by the introductory remarks in section 1, since the two parts of the compound verb may agree with different constituents in the same sentence.
		Both parts of the compound verb agree with the object in past perfective transitive sentences, as might be expected given the pattern of ergativity that was illustrated in (14) above with a simple verb.
		Although both parts here agree with the object (since the verb is past tense), evidence for their separate status comes from non-past perfectives and imperatives (34d), since in those constructions, the two parts of the compound verb agree with different constituents of the sentence.
