Omeina has no definite/indefinite articles at all (like Latin)
TA, TB, TC, TD, TF, TG, TI, TJ, AA, AB - no translation of the article
necessary; though 'I don't like the weather' would be translated 'I don't
like this weather', though you would have to be out in it at the time.
TE - use of possessive: kado langinero dani [hit] [face-his-on] [Aux(I-him)]
TH - use of superlative (or hyperlative) form of adjective
TK - use of abstract noun modifier: in all cases here -duna would be used
AC as first group above, but third example would be translated as 'while she
(was a) young girl...'
