Sentence 5

Ha dÉ›lɨdiya evena iyÉ›, dona ludɨdÉ›n É›mmena o ŋÉ›ha mÉ›ha no.

The more he sends out breaths, the closer the traveler pulls the cloak to himself.

The first clause is simple enough and adds the adverb iyɛ, which with an iterative verb means more. In the second clause we get a new verb ɛmɛmɛ (S A ↘↙), which is the opposite of evi:

	imperfect [imp]	perfect [prf]	iterative [itr]
visual [vis] / Ø	ɛmɛmɛ	omɛtɛ	ɛmena
non-visual [nvs]	ɛmɛbi	omɛptɛ	ɛmbena
inferred [inf]	ɛmɛli	omɛttɛ	ɛmlena
reported [rep]	ɛmɛmo	omɛntɛ	ɛmmena

There are no new nouns or pronouns, but what is that o doing before ŋÉ›ha (which is reflexive here – singular subject) in the destination slot? Well, for one thing, neither evi nor É›mÉ›mÉ› have a destination slot, so this must be a peripheral phrase. O is a preposition meaning at, in, on and is used with locations. So o ŋÉ›ha is in/on/at oneself. This meaning is supported by the use of the abverb mÉ›ha inwards.

Finally, no is a modifier more, close modifying the adverb mɛha.
