Which of these is the best translation to ta:ruven I wonder:

r'eged'   u:es
1s."fart" 2s-LOC

r'eged'   u:es   k'e=ECesru         OR r'eged' k'e=ECesru u:es
1s."fart" 2s-LOC direction-LOC1

r'eged'   u:ev    k'e=ECese=F0        OR r'eged' k'e=ECese=F0 u:ev
1s."fart" 2s-GEN1 direction-GEN

r'eged'   u:'s
1s."fart" 2s-wards

1s =3D 1st person singular
2s =3D 2nd person singular
LOC =3D general location, placed ON the location
LOC1 =3D placed on the 'locatee'
GEN =3D inanimate genitive, placed on the 'owned' item
GEN1 =3D inanimate genitive, placed on the 'owner' of the item

Perhaps <r'eged'> `fart, shit, piss, sweat...' should be emphasized...

=EFr'eged' ...
"i FART ..."

I don't know how to emphasize the "general" yet, as <=EF-> can only prefi=
x stems and not affixes like <-es> and <-'s>. (If one wanted to be specif=
ic, one wouldn't use <-es>.)

(To ease the word-order even further, add <sa:> `1s' anywhere.)

Decisions, decisions :)
