In Kálima, to embed a subordinate clause, just use 'pe' and 'e'! These mark the start and end of the clause, respectively.

Example:
Ona pe ova jeli korobá e áitáibá.
1SFirst person singular (person)
speaker, signer, etc.; I.ACCAccusative (case)
TRANS direct object; patient that SGSingular (number)
one countable entity.3Third person (person)
neither speaker nor addressee.ACCAccusative (case)
TRANS direct object; patient good.NOMNominative (case)
TRANS subject, INTR argument be.PERFPerfect (aspect/tense)
have verb-ed.PRESPresent tense (tense)
current [clause end] think.PERFPerfect (aspect/tense)
have verb-ed.PRESPresent tense (tense)
current.
I think that it is good.

This could also be written like this, using the punctuation symbols instead of 'pe' and 'e':
Ona; ova jeli korobá, áitáibá.
It would still be pronounced the same way (maybe excluding 'pe'), but it's an option if you feel it's that important to save the space.
