| Kiyaka | No | Lukowa Kidima | This depends on how to classify (AGR-eeno) ' in question, previously mentioned'. If this is a demonstrative, this property would be 'yes'. However, since there seems to be no way to use a demonstrative with "tell me about these two paintings/children" with a deictic demonstrative, it seems these cannot combine with numeral N. This is what motivated the 'no' value. |
