      • Comment In these NPs the plural marker <maa> PLM, which is a noun of the second class (n2), precedes the determiner <meha> 'other' as well as last noun of the NP, which can be considered as the semantic head of the NP. It is not the syntactic head, because the selection of the article and the form of the determiner is determined by the plural marker <maa>, as demonstrated by the last example with <bon> 'day' which is a noun of the 3rd class.
