[Lingtyp] Lingtyp Digest, Vol 83, Issue 10

[Joseph Brooks]

Dear Farhad,
In Chini, proclitics that attach to the verb complex code different
meanings about arguments, and there is a special construction specifically
for focused goals (I gloss the morphemes as allative), where double marking
occurs. One proclitic is the basic allative marker, then the other
co-occurs with it. There's more to it than that but anyways here's a quick
example

nyɨ=mhi=mɨ=kɨ=nɨmar-kɨ
pl=foc.all=all=propel-tloc.pl-r
'(the men) threw (the skulls) down to THEM (the women, to whom the skulls
belonged)'

Cheers & God bless
Joseph
