Re: TRANS: Fw: names of ants

In Skerre:
Ko u linsa a korska sisise i ijitoror.

Interlinear
Ko    u    linsa    a    korska    sisise    i    ijitoror.
NEG   IMPF remember  ERG  no.one    names     GEN   animals-DIM.

NEG=negative particle
IMPF=imperfective
ERG=ergative
GEN=genitive
DIM=diminutive

The double negative is not grammatically required, but definitely preferred.
I don't have a word for ants, and since I haven't really taken a look at the
flora and fauna of the Skerres' homeplane, I don't have a equivalent, so I
used the word for animal plus the diminutive suffix.
