| In 7 (I) - (iii), the genitive CM ka
shows agreement with the head noun; but in 8 ( i ) - (iii),
the CM ka of the ka-na construction shows
no such agreement. |
| Furthermore, whereas the nominalizer ka
can be optionally deleted, the other lexical CMs cannot
be. We choose the genitive ka as a representation
instance of the latter for the purpose of illustration. |
