Pronoun notes

  • Kude ítí-ten kem kembí yiret?, where are you going?


  • or Kembí yiret kude?

    Today's question word is kude. Bâha ye shente has two words for where. Kude involves motion, to or from where, whither and whence. There is a group of prefixes that can go onto place words, including kude, to show direction.

    To look for something in its place the question word is . I thought that this was a description about . Then I realised going meant motion not location and kude was more appropriate in these sentences.

    Bâha ye shente, language of people, can be a good name for this language until such time as I find an ethnonym for it.
