pida 'uyulj a su kinikasiv?
Free translation:
How many bundles of wood do you have?
Word gloss:
- pida: how many
- [a]: LIG, I think by syntax this a should be here and is subsumed in the last vowel sound of the preivous pida.
- 'uyulj or quyulj: bundle
- a: subject case marker for conmon NP
- su: your, 2nd person SIN GEN. I write it separately from the next word kinikasiv because the lexicon stands on its own with full meaning in this sentence. When it is part of inflection of a verb, I write it together with the inflected verb to indicate its clitic nature, e.g. su-s<in>i-talem 'planted by you or that which you planted'.
- k<in>i-kasiv: literally wood that is collected, undergoer focus because of the infix -in-. ki- 'to get or obtain'; the root is kasiv 'wood'.
