5.2 Possession and compounding 271(266.c) could be parsed as 'son of owner of excrement (pellets)'. Plurals are
difficult to elicit, but I did obtain aeggu-t-a-rsad-en for the third one.
In (267), the verb is PerfP zajrat- rather than Shlmpf -zaejrset-.(267) zajrat basnnan
be.long.PerfP without.reason
'middle finger' (takes FeSg agreement)zajrat 'be long, tall' is an adjectival C-initial verb, hence its perfective
cannot take subject pronominal prefixes. Therefore 3MaSg and 3FeSg forms
are identical.
In (268) we have a negated PerfN verb. The phrase is literally 'it was not
(= has not been) cut' (compare the English flower term forget-me-not). The
species denoted is a long, trailing vine.
