Syntax testing day 28
Likashi

K’èvúkí nķe ķémekwa q'a nkukwa?
k’èvúkí nķe ķé-me-kwa-∅ q'a nku-kwa-∅
concert Q APPL-Q-go-3.SG EXC APPL-go-3.SG
Are you going with us to the concert?

Notes:
1. ⟨k’èvúkí⟩ "musical performance" < ⟨k’è⟩ "to hear" + ⟨vúkí⟩ "to sing, play (an instrument)"
2. Two applicatives are used: one for the lative "to the concert" ⟨k’èvúkí ķé-⟩, the other for the comitative "with us" ⟨q'a nku-⟩, duplicating the verb ⟨-kwa⟩ "to go (away)".
