Stacking prefix and sufixes

[Meuia te Stxeli Tstew'itan]

Someone brought to me a very simple question in the TeamSpeak server yesterday. How do you say: "I show you my bow and arrow". At first it looked simple and then I happened to get stuck on two things. First, I'm pretty sure that "to show" is a transitive verb which means that you need the accusative and ergative particles. It's not hard to get to "I show you a bow" but how would you say that it is MY bow? Adding the the genitive suffix to oel seams to be the shorter way but is it correct? Where would it goes, after of before the accusative? Also, how would you say "my bow AND arrow"? Do you put the ergative suffix to both words?

You may add two "oe"s with the genitive (if it's even necessary...) (the bow and arrow are mine, not i'm their!)... my other thought is that it's maybe the time to use the topic-marker...


Or not... i think this is good, but it certainly needs someone more experienced than me to tell (i make to many mistakes...)
Oel ngaru wìntxu oeyä tskoti sì (oeyä) swizawit.

Oel ngaru wìntxu oeyä tskoti sì (oeyä) swizawit.

That could solve the issue of stacking the accusative and genitive. How about the multiple ergative? Can we really do that or the second one is implied by "sì"?

[Hawnuyu atxen]

That's something i don't really know... for now i'd say that the "sì" makes the second one unnecessary... but that's just my opinion...

Oel ngaru wìntxu oeyä tskoti sì (oeyä) swizawit.

I would do this:  Oel ngaru wìntxu tskoti swizawitsì oeyä.

Both still need case endings.

Ooh, hey, notice that horentisì = PL+koren-ti-sì.  This is a perfect example of why nouns that end in consonants might nonetheless take the -ti form of the accusative marker.

Sorry if i'm the only one here who thinks that's cool =P

Yeah, it isn't actually required (you could have horenitsì), but I agree that is seems more understandable. And voila, we actually have a contrast w -t in the same phrase.

Oh my gosh, I never noticed that before... That will confuse people even more
