yuñurun--'everywhere', already a compd yuno-yurun 'all-place'-- is
intensified by the additional _yuno_; also pron. yuñuñurun (The plur.

My sister sewed my sarong to the chair -- is OK
suyami yarucicim palomi ri ekuke (...sewed my sarong (on)to chair(dat.,
motion)-- both imply deliberate action.  If by accident, something like
_inga pilani_ 'without thinking' or _inga sanjañi_ 'without realizing' at
the beginning or the end.

NO NO NO.  He beaded his "fanny-pack" with a knife. He's a little weird

This hits a sore point-- I haven't figured out 'through' yet, but it will be
related to 'penetrate'-- for now _titriñ_ (ult.< trik 'poke'), takes dative.
Nor do I yet have a word for 'then=next', for now use ordinals.  Finally,
the imper. -ka is omitted in instructions like these.

top-of(acc., location)  bead REL behind, 3rd to under-of thread, finally
return thru bead-poss/def.

(1)colloq.:  veluni, sanjambi me cakapirik-- lit., lately, my-realizing
(sanjañ-mi) me(dat) "overcome by (in some bad way) bead".  cakapirik would
be a nonce-form but clear to everyone.
(veluni 'recently, lately' < velu 'new' plus 3d/poss. suffix)

(2) OTOH your therapist might say:  veluni, matikas re te cakatingas

lately, I see/note that to-you(dat) "obsessing over" beads(gen.)...what (is)
(your) feeling about-that?
caka/tingas:  accid. of tingas 'look at, watch, inspect'; caka-forms require
the cause/complement of the experience to be in the genitive, the
experiencer usu. in the dative.
