(Lesson 38)

In this lesson the word vpjk'  can be used as a noun/measure classifier for "things" or to change an adjective to an adverb as in  vpjk'it;y' "carefully."

Notice the contrast in the use of  
gxHo "to be/in/as"  found in the expression  gxHoc5; "in a line," and  "to be something wrong," as in gxHovtwi

Mani and Chujai use the less formal polite particles 0Ut and 0ht in talking to each other, preserving the high and falling tone contrasts.
