Test Sentences, 90

Continuing with Gary’s list:

  1. A company of soldiers marched over the hill and across the meadow.

OK. No soldiers. Let’s use a group of hunters kÉ›ddɨn ha É›danna. And “marching” is a manner verb, and manner just isn’t important. Sorry. Over the hill and across the meadow can be handled with a serial predicate construction, and both would use the adverb alamya prefixed to tɨŋi

121. kÉ›ddɨn ha É›danna alamotni lÉ›nÉ› alamotni mɨŋi dÉ›stÉ›.
