If you're looking for genitive phrases, I haven't made any of those
yet.  I have some ideas, but they're not ready yet.

Let's take a look:

   Ved sagin sagin ave.  "The hunter sees the prey."
   Ved saginum saginus ave.  "The prey sees the hunter."
   Ved sagin sagin cad.  "The hunter and the hunter see each other."
   Ved sagin saginum cad.  "The hunter sees the hunter."

   Sagin sagin sagin ave.  "The hunter hunts the prey."
   Sagin sagin sagin cad.  "The hunter and the hunter hunt each other."

Some of these, while grammatical as they are, would likely be rephrased:

   Ved sagin sagin ave. > Ved sagin mac.
   Sagin sagin sagin ave. > Sagin bay.

Does that help any?  Is it what you expected?
