ABSTRACT
The case particle 㠦㍲G is a one-form particle and is used to express two things: (1) the dynamic location, or (2) the source of action. A dynamic location refers to the place where an action takes place. Consider the following sentence:
㫊㧊G 䞯ᾦG 㔳╏㠦㍲G 㩦㕂㦚G ⲏ㠊㣪 “John eats lunch at the school cafeteria”
Notice that 䞯ᾦG㔳╏G“the school cafeteria” is a dynamic location, where the action (e.g., eating lunch) takes place. In fact, the use of the particle 㠦㍲ is determined by the type of verb the sentence has. Whenever the verb denotes an activity such as playing, doing, meeting, working, studying, and so forth, 㠦㍲ must be used. Here are more examples:
㞺✲⮮ṖG䞯ᾦ㠦㍲GⰆ┺⯒GⰢ⋮㣪 “Andrew meets Susan at school” OP 㞺✲⮮ṖG䞯ᾦ㠦GⰆ┺⯒GⰢ⋮㣪 “Andrew meets Susan at school”
In the first sentence above, the particle 㠦㍲ is used, since the school is the dynamic location where the action (e.g., meeting Susan) is taking place. The use of 㠦 in this context would be ungrammatical.
