Most scholars today still tend to define m=k as a nonenclitic particle. But as early as the 19th century, Adolf Erman described m=k as the sdm=f form of the optative. In this paper, I have accepted Ermans proposition, and have suggested the following points:1) m=k is the prospective sdm=f form.2) The initial main sentence could be embedded as a nominal clause used as the object of m=k.3) When a non-adverbial or non-pseudo-verbal sentence is embedded, that sentence undergoes no transformation.4) When iw sdmw=f/iw N sdm=f/iw sdm. tw=f/iw sdm. n=f is embedded, iw should be omitted in the embedded nominal clause.5) When an adverbial or pseudo-verbal sentence is embedded, that sentence undergoes transformation such that the independent pronoun is used as the subject of an adverbial or pseudo-verbal sentence in the embedded nominal clause.6) Most of the m=k constructions have their counterparts in initial main sentences.
