Indeed, so complicated that I got some forms wrong in the 2nd
and the 3rd example.
Here are the correct examples:
(2) mbar-em-as o-s-em-as mbestiro-s-em-as
house-PL-LOC M-GEN-PL-LOC baker-GEN-PL-LOC
`in the houses of the baker'
(3) mbar-em-as i-s-em-as mbestir-i-s-em-as
house-PL-LOC PL-GEN-PL-LOC baker-PL-GEN-PL-LOC
`in the houses of the bakers'
The other examples, it seems to me, are correct.
But anyway, the principle ought to be clear.
Greetings,
Jörg.
