tsukikageUrgh... I wish I hadn't lost my homework assignment (and notes for it). Now I have to go through this data by myself so I can write a less-than-one-page writing assignment, which will at least double the time I spend on this thing, more likely triple it. Not to mention, since I only realized that I had lost it Wednesday night (it was due Thursday), so I had to e-mail Prof. Mulkern to send it to me, and I'll be e-mailing it to after I finish it this morning.
It would also help if I could tell the difference between a pre/post-position and a marker. I assume pre/post-positions have to be their own words? I dunno. In any case, I'll do the best I can.
Heh heh. I cheat.
"2. In languages with prepositions, the genitive almost always follows the governing noun, while in languages with postpositions it almost always precedes."
My solution to figuring this one out? Somali "prepositions" [...] always occur before the verb.
