  Comment

  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.

  • • Example 988:
      

      Ei to boha me kamaanam ori

      This is what they said to us.
