pida a su kinaqadavan?
In English:
Glossary:
- pida: how much, how many.
- a: subject case marker
- su: your, 2nd person singular genitive (GEN)
- k<in>a-qadav-an: daily wage or earning. The root is qadaw or qadav 'day'.
Reading:
From the class of sinsi idis.
kinaqadavan, as I learn from different contexts so far, have two other meanings:
- the number of days (Paiwan Every Day 196), and
- weather (Paiwan Every Day 237).
These three meanings seem to share a common property of 'day' and are used by different variations of different locations. But exactly why it is the case remains to be answered and I believe it can be answered by the science of linguistics.
