Continuing with Gary’s list:
- At noon we ate our lunch by the roadside.
Hah. Already have a word for noon! And like any one-word time phrase, it can go in the source slot. And by the roadside involves a serial predicate. Since the food is also by the roadside dantɛndɛ tona, this works. Eating, by the way, uses ono.
92. lɨnanda lɛnna kye gogɨdiya tono dantɛndɛ tona.
- lɨnanda
- noon
- lɛnna
- 1P.MTpl
- kye
- belly.MT
- gogɨdiya
- food.MTpl
- tono
- ono.PRF
- dan-
- along
- tɛndɛ
- tɛndɛ.IMP
- tona

Hmm. This could also mean “we ate the food that was by the road.”
