Numbers 199
(79) a. Na'-kana' bine' entar kabbi dha' pasar.
RED-child female go all to market
‘The girls all went to the market.’
b. Na'-kana bine' entar dha pasar kabbi.
RED-child female go to market all
‘The girls all went to the market.’
In (79a), the quantifier kabbi ‘all’ occurs between the verb entar ‘go’ and the
prepositional phrase dha' pasar ‘to market’, but quantifies the subject na'-kana'
bine' ‘girls’. In (79b), the quantifier occurs in clause-final position. Subjects
most easily allow quantifier float, but some speakers also allow kabbi to float
from non-subjects under some circumstances, as in (80), in which a clause-final
kabbi quantifies the direct object ku-buku ‘books’. Some speakers, however, do
not find such sentences acceptable.
(80) %Siti ngerem ku-buku dha’ kanca-na dhari Malang kabbi.
Siti AV.send RED-book to friend-DEF from Malang all
‘Siti sent all the books to her friend(s) from Malang.’
