  Comment

  In <mie2> the pronoun <=e> may either function as the subject as in [Aro 15R 167] or as the object as in [Sii 17W 032]. In the latter case it does not refer to humans, see <kie1>.

  • • Example 1668:
      

      Beo avu kavara, ean repaa gono mie ta vasu.

      When the ashes are finished, you get a stone for it. (i.e. for crushing the charcoal)

      Source: Sii 17W 032

    • Example 4504:

      That´s why he killed the pig. (lit. That he killed the pig for)
