 In the simplest form, a cycle delay can appear as a prefix of another sequence, e.g., `##1 a`. This is essentially a concatenation with only one sequence, `a`, and an initial cycle delay of the concatenation of `1`. The prefix delays map to the LTL dialect as follows:
 
-- `##N seq`. **Fixed delay.** Sequence `seq` has to match exactly `N` cycles in the future. Equivalent to `ltl.delay %seq, N, 0`.
-- `##[N:M] seq`. **Bounded range delay.** Sequence `seq` has to match anywhere between `N` and `M` cycles in the future, inclusive. Equivalent to `ltl.delay %seq, N, (M-N)`
-- `##[N:$] seq`. **Unbounded range delay.** Sequence `seq` has to match anywhere at or beyond `N` cycles in the future, after a finite amount of cycles. Equivalent to `ltl.delay %seq, N`.
-- `##[*] seq`. Shorthand for `##[0:$]`. Equivalent to `ltl.delay %seq, 0`.
-- `##[+] seq`. Shorthand for `##[1:$]`. Equivalent to `ltl.delay %seq, 1`.

 Concatenation of two sequences always involves a cycle delay specification in between them, e.g., `a ##1 b` where sequence `b` starts in the cycle after `a` ends. Zero-cycle delays can be specified, e.g., `a ##0 b` where `b` starts in the same cycle as `a` ends. If `a` and `b` are booleans, `a ##0 b` is equivalent to `a && b`.
 
 The dialect separates concatenation and cycle delay into two orthogonal operations, `ltl.concat` and `ltl.delay`, respectively. The former models concatenation as `a ##0 b`, and the latter models delay as a prefix `##1 c`. The SVA concatenations with their infix delays map to the LTL dialect as follows:
 
 - `seqA ##N seqB`. **Binary concatenation.** Sequence `seqB` follows `N` cycles after `seqA`. This can be represented as `seqA ##0 (##N seqB)`, which is equivalent to
   ```
-  %0 = ltl.delay %seqB, N, 0
+  %0 = ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %seqB, N, 0
   ltl.concat %seqA, %0
   ```
 
 - `seqA ##N seqB ##M seqC`. **Variadic concatenation.** Sequence `seqC` follows `M` cycles after `seqB`, which itself follows `N` cycles after `seqA`. This can be represented as `seqA ##0 (##N seqB) ##0 (##M seqC)`, which is equivalent to
   ```
-  %0 = ltl.delay %seqB, N, 0
-  %1 = ltl.delay %seqC, M, 0
+  %0 = ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %seqB, N, 0
+  %1 = ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %seqC, M, 0
   ltl.concat %seqA, %0, %1
   ```
   Since concatenation is associative, this is also equivalent to `seqA ##N (seqB ##M seqC)`:
   ```
-  %0 = ltl.delay %seqC, M, 0
+  %0 = ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %seqC, M, 0
   %1 = ltl.concat %seqB, %0
-  %2 = ltl.delay %1, N, 0
+  %2 = ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %1, N, 0
   ltl.concat %seqA, %2
   ```
   And also `(seqA ##N seqB) ##M seqC`:
   ```
-  %0 = ltl.delay %seqB, N, 0
+  %0 = ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %seqB, N, 0
   %1 = ltl.concat %seqA, %0
-  %2 = ltl.delay %seqC, M, 0
+  %2 = ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %seqC, M, 0
   ltl.concat %1, %2
   ```
 
 - `##N seqA ##M seqB`. **Initial delay.** Sequence `seqB` follows `M` cycles afer `seqA`, which itself starts `N` cycles in the future. This is equivalent to a delay on `seqA` within the concatenation:
   ```
-  %0 = ltl.delay %seqA, N, 0
-  %1 = ltl.delay %seqB, M, 0
+  %0 = ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %seqA, N, 0
+  %1 = ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %seqB, M, 0
   ltl.concat %0, %1
   ```
   Alternatively, the delay can also be placed on the entire concatenation:
   ```
-  %0 = ltl.delay %seqB, M, 0
+  %0 = ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %seqB, M, 0
   %1 = ltl.concat %seqA, %0
-  ltl.delay %1, N, 0
+  ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %1, N, 0
   ```
 
 - Only the fixed delay `##N` is shown here for simplicity, but the examples extend to the other delay flavors `##[N:M]`, `##[N:$]`, `##[*]`, and `##[+]`.

+#### Delay clocking (concise)
+
+`ltl.delay` takes a clock `Value` and a `ClockEdgeAttr` as its first two
+operands:
+
+```
+ltl.delay %clock, <edge>, %input, <delay>[, <length>]
+```
+
+`%clock` is an `i1` value (e.g. a module clock); `<edge>` is `posedge`,
+`negedge`, or `edge`. The `delay`/`length` are counted on the specified
+clock/edge (for example `ltl.delay %clk, posedge, %s, 3` means `%s` must hold
+3 cycles later on `%clk` rising edges). `ltl.clock` globally associates a
+sequence/property with a clock/edge; using the same pair in `ltl.delay`
+keeps expressions in the same clocking domain.
+
+Note: lowering may insert an explicit clock value (e.g. `hw.constant` or
+`seq.from_clock`) when a direct `Value` for the clock is not available.
