How It Works
The word क्रम means sequence or course. After the -ने form, क्रममा names the process during which something else happened.
| Activity | Phrase |
|---|---|
| काम गर्नु | काम गर्ने क्रममा |
| घर फर्कनु | घर फर्कने क्रममा |
| अनुसन्धान गर्नु | अनुसन्धान गर्ने क्रममा |
The phrase tells what was going on, and the main clause tells what happened then: नदी तर्ने क्रममा बच्चा खस्यो (the child fell while crossing the river).
