<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><BR>It's sentence 2 from JOD's "Raccoon and the
Wolf," as told by one of his primary informants PpaháNle-Gáxli.
Of course it's just the first example I've run across, but I have the impression
that it's far from being the only one. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Does anyone know whether any Dhegiha languages allow sentences
with a bare argument (either subject or object), followed by a determined
argument, followed by the verb? i.e., N - N - D - V<BR><BR>Can't find any or
remember any for the life of me. I wonder if bare N's generally have to stay
closer to the verb than determined ones do.<BR><BR>(I'm not counting examples
where the first one is the possessor of the second, as these have a different
structure, e.g. Rabbit his.son the knew)<BR><BR>-
