mto -> eng

Source: mto Destination: English ie. We're translating from Mixe into English.

pö’öj

  • 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".

pö’ö

  • eng) break and sand
  • mto) pö’ö (p205 of 312)

va'an

  • eng) speak and say
  • mto) vaꞌan
