tunu has the following. could anyone help me correct them ?
piri : flower
piringa : no flower
piri iti kata : all flowers
piri iti kekata : each flower
piri iti kikata : every flower
piri iti tena : certain flower
piri iti tetena : any flower
piri itinga tena : some flower
piri ya... ya : flower that... it
piri iti toke : this flower
piri iti tone : that flower
piri iti piki ? : what flower ?
piri iti pipiki ? : which flower ?
kekata (each) is reverse to kata (all). kikata (every) is unit of kata (all)=
.=20
tetena (any) is opposite to tena (some specific). pipiki (which) is unit of=20
piki (what).
