Re: Event contours and ZAhO tcita

[Jorge LLambias <jorge@PHYAST.PITT.EDU>]

What are the semantics of "fi'o"?

As I understand it:

ko'a dunda le cakla fi'o bapli le mamta = ko'a dunda le cakla bai le mamta

ko'a fi'o bapli fe'u dunda le cakla = ko'a bai dunda le cakla

i.e. The sumti tagged by {fi'o (selbri) fe'u} corresponds to the x1
place of (selbri).

Then {fi'o bapli fe'u} is like {bai}
     {fi'o se purci fe'u} like {pu}
     {fi'o se balvi fe'u} like {ba}
etc.

For ZAhOs there are two rules, depending on the place of the tag:

     {fi'o fanmo fe'u} is like {mo'u}    when it tags a selbri,
                                           but not when it tags a sumti.

     {fi'o se fanmo fe'u} is like {mo'u}    when it tags a sumti,
                                           but not when it tags a selbri.


Is this right?
