ABSTRACT

The preposition ɛend, when it means ‘to have’, resembles a verb; because like the verb ‘to see’, you negate it by placing ma- and –š on either side of it:

ma-ɛend-i-š magana. 35 ________________

nta, ma-ɛend-ek-š ŧumubil. 36 ________________

l-weld, ma-ɛend-u-š gaɍɍu. 37 ________________

le-mɍa, ma-ɛend-ha-š škara. 38 ________________
