A Child Clause
a: Subordinate clause ~
b: your ten-year-old brother
What: "Subordinating conjunctions make clauses subordinate and not independent, and therefore they cannot stand alone. A subordinate clause is like your ten-year-old brother trying to live in Grant South and take your classes. You need an independent clause to do that."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
