No non-finite complementiser with adjectival
to-infinitivals
quickinfo
The non-finite complementiser may not be used to introduce adjectival to-infinitivals.

The construction does not allow of the presence of the non-finite complementiser om:
Example 1
| a. | *Omdat it ien net om te begripen is sûnder it oar | ||||||||||||||
| because the one not for to understand is without the other | |||||||||||||||
| Because you cannot understand one without the other | |||||||||||||||
| b. | *Mei him is net om te praten | ||||||||||||||
| with him is not for to talk | |||||||||||||||
| He cannot be talked with | |||||||||||||||
There is a related construction which requires the presence of the non-finite complementiser, see Preceding infinitival with complementiser and object gap for more details. This construction has the appearance of allowing prepositional complements to be realised in the structural subject position of wêzebe.
