  <hum> 'weather' is always preceded by the plural marker <maa> 'PLM', which is a n2 and forms the head of the construction.

  • • Example 2323:
      

      mea maa hum paa kaokao tovuhu rakaha bana tea maa bon

      the weather became very cold in the nights

    • Example 2324:
      

      Bea maa hum purihi nana, eve kurus o vuri to tavus viravira kurus riori.

      When the weather is wet, that's indeed the time they (the sandflies) come out in huge quantities.
