alternative strategies found with serial verb and auxiliary constructions, whether they are contiguous or not. Example: in Jeh ĕn loh chièu reng rŭp bùh cha chŏ̀'wan He went out and got somebody's pig and roasted and ate it, the serial verbs loh chièu reng rŭp bùh cha [exit go search catch roast eat] are all contiguous. Another alternative contiguity strategy in auxiliary constructions is to position the auxiliary in a fixed position in the clause, typically second position, rather than relative to the position of the verb in the auxiliary construction.
