Editing Comitative case (section)

===Hausa===

The comitative marker in [[Hausa language|Hausa]] is the preposition {{lang|ha|dà}}. In Hausa, a prepositional phrase marked for comitative can be moved to the front of the sentence for emphasis, as shown in the examples below.<ref name=Abdoulaye>{{cite book|last=Abdoulaye|first=Mahamane L.|title=Coordinating Constructions|year=2004|location=Amsterdam; Philadelphia|publisher=John Benjamins |editor-first=Martin |editor-last=Haspelmath|chapter=Comitative, coordinating, and inclusory constructions in Hausa|pages=180}}</ref>

{{interlinear|indent=3|lang=ha

|(together) with children-of-3SG.M indeed 3SG.M.PFV come here
|'With his children indeed, he came here.'}}

{{interlinear|indent=3|lang=ha
|(tàare) dà Bàlaa née na jee kàasuwaa
|(together) with Bala COP 1SG.{{gcl|RP|relative pronoun}} go market
|'It is with Bala that I went to the market.'<ref name=Abdoulaye />}}

In Hausa it is ungrammatical to do the same with coordinating conjunctions. For example, if the companions were "dog and cat", it would be ungrammatical to move either "dog" or "cat" to the front of the sentence for emphasis, while it is grammatical to do so when there is a comitative marker rather than a conjunction.<ref name=Abdoulaye />
