(56) How are adverbial subordinate clauses marked?

Evenki (Tungusic)
[D'u-la-vi eme-mi] ulle-ve dev-d'enge-s.
house-ALL-POSS come-CVB meat-ACC eat-FUT-2SG
'When/If (you) come home, (you) will eat meat.'
'(You) will eat meat when/if (you) come home' (Nedjalkov)
Evenki: converb, Sub-Main
English: subordinator, Sub-Main/Main-Sub
Explanation: Working definition of 'converb' (CVB): 'a nonfinite verb form whose main function is to mark adverbial subordination' (Haspelmath). Please include verbal suffixes independent of whether they are referred to as 'converbs' in the literature (other terms include 'gerunds' etc.).
Please note whether there is an additional distinction of 'switch reference'. For example, the Evenki converb suffix -mi is of the 'same subject' type.
Background: There might be a correlation of converbs as defined here with O-V order. The order of subordinate clause and main clause might correlate with O-V/V-O.
