Spanish term or phrase: frases nominales conjuntas
Conjoined NPs or Coordinated NPs?

I translate "El conjuntor" as "The coordinator" (as this appears to best summarize its function, IMO)...

What do you think?

El conjuntor –mpi1 puede darse en dos o más nominales para indicar la
suma de números (1.12.24) y en frases nominales conjuntas, como las
siguientes.
tunka jamach'i.mpi suxta wisk'achampi
‘con diez pájaros y seis vizcachas’
–mpi1 ocurre también como conjuntor de oraciones: uka.mpi.x ‘y así, entonces,
con lo que’; ina.mpi.s ‘quizás’.

conjuncted nominal phrases


Explanation:
Conjunct is not the same as coordinator or conjunction.

The conjunct is the nexus between phrases
The conjunctio/coordinator is the nexus beween propositions

agree  translatol: 'Noun phrase' (abbreviation NP) is the standard term in modern linguistics. 'Coordinated' and 'conjoined' don't mean the same; the former is a special case of the latter, as a subordinate phrase may be called conjoined but not coordinated.
