Continuing with Gary’s list:
- Mr. Jones made a knife for his little boy.
Another use of ɛmɛmɛ for making and building. This sentence also has multiple sources: one a sessile purpose (his little boy) and the other a motile cause (Mr J, hereafter referred to as Mada). I should probably put the motile one closer to the verb.
