'AH his trousers are long.'
255. Aneuk-geuh carong-carong.

person with only one child. This kind of reduplication is
clearly plural.
3.4 di
This word (to be distinguished from the di 'in, at,
from' and di-. a variant of _i- '3y') has received more than
one name; "function word" in Asyik (1972), "subject marker"
in Asyik (1982: 8-9), and "focus marker" in Durie (1985:
207-9). The treatment in Durie (1985) is the most complete
for the present time. According to Durie, this word is not
only used to focus subjects, but also other NP's, including
dative NP's. The example from Durie is copied here as (256)
and glossed in the method used here.
256. Ka-bri di kee duwa boh.
