| Definition |
a strategy used in syndetic coordination where there are fewer coordinators than coordinands. Example: the simplest example, which gives rise to the term, is one coordinator in a construction with two or more coordinands, as in Iraqw and English or Jerry, Bobby, and Phil. The term has been extended to coordination with multiple coordinands and one less coordinator than coordinand, as in Iraqw Kwermuhl nee Tlawi nee Dongobesh nee Haydom nee Daudi Kwermuhl, Tlawi, Dongobesh, Haydom, and Daudi [place names].

The Model of Comparative concepts for Constructicon Alignment (MoCCA; Lorenzi et al. 2024) proposes to connect constructions across and within languages using Comparative Concepts as a shared base of comparison. It adopts the set of Comparative Concepts provided by Croft (2022).
