mto -> eng
Source: mto Destination: English ie. We're translating from Mixe into English.
- eng) plant and germinate
- mto) pö’öj (p186 of 312)
- The verb root is the same. pö’öj "plant" is always transitive, whereas pö’öj can be transitive or intransitive. When intransitive, you have:
- NP PERSON-pö’öj-APL.R-INV-(in)dependent.aspect NP
- The transitive form doesn't have APL.R or INV morphemes, and isn't followed by a noun phrase.
- NP PERSON-pö’öj-(IN)DEPENDENT.ASPECT
If there's a personal pronoun, pö’öj translates to "plant".
- eng) break and sand
- mto) pö’ö (p205 of 312)
