<div dir="ltr">SFAIK, this type of construction isn't found in Yahgan, the genetic isolate from Tierra del Fuego. Games were few and far between anyway in this culture during its heyday in the mid-to-late 19th century. They had mythic performances termed 'plays' (enactments) by the British missionary Thomas Bridges,to whom we owe most of what we know about the language. There were ring-around-the-rosie type circle games, tugs-of-war, and wrestling games. These were pretty much the only competitive games. And other three-term NP's such as lock, stock, and barrel, Bed-Bath-and-Beyond, etc. were not a part of the linguistic repertoire of Yahgan.<div>Jess Tauber</div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
