Actually, cancel what I wrote before. It was too ambiguous---I didn't
distinguish between everything properly. It's now:
xuhazhnongi xuxjanjinjisju xonqigawa
/su_T_Ba_H_Tn3\:_MNi_M su_T_Bsa_Lni_Bni_Bsu_B so_T_BNi_T_Bka_T_Ba_T_B/
fuzzy blue monkey(s)
(<w> is the alterate of <{null}> for using the _T_B tone.)
The roots are
xu, adjective modifying the noun that starts with `xo'
xja, adjective modifying the noun that start with `xo', used when there's
more than one adjective and this is the second.
xo, noun being modified by adjective(s) that start with `xu'
hazh, small
no, bump
ngi, cover
nji, good (reduplicated to become `very good')
sju, colour
nqi, -likelike prefixish thing (nqiga=humanlike)
ga, human
wa, animal
