ineixcahuil question

Dear Molly,

   I wish I had Michael's memory, but it would be very unfair to him 
for us to trade.  I'll just add a comment and some examples.

   In the examples below, one can see in the finite verb forms that 
...ixcahuia... involves being concerned with something, concentrating 
on something, etc.

   ninixcahuia     entender solo en algun negocio

   I assume that -cahuia is the benefactive form (often referred to as 
the applicative) of cahua.

   The nominalization of mo-ix-cahui-(a) is ne-ix-cahui-l-li and your 
possessed form follows directly from that.  ... and the 'mo' is 
replaced by the non-specific reflexive 'ne'.

I put the examples below.

Iztayohmeh,

Joe
