  When <boha> 'say' combines with the incorporated preposition <me> or <mi>, the person talked to or talked about is encoded as the primary object and the message as the secondary object. If the primary object is a 1st or 2nd person pronoun it is in addition marked by the dative preposition and an object marker.

      Ei to boha me kamaanam ori

      This is what they said to us.
