The paper discusses the opposition between two complementizers/subordinators, da vs. ka, in Prekmurje Slovene. The forms were used up through the first half of the 20th century to distinguish between irrealis (da) and realis (ka) propositions. In the discussion the available evidence is examined in order to establish more precisely the conditions for the distribution of the two forms. In addition, the diachrony and diatopy of the forms are considered in both South Slavic and broader Slavic contexts.
