ona ‘child’ in 380.1a and 380.1b
unlike in 380.1, is a componential part of a compound
: it does not take the naimate DO marker -yi
because it is syntactically insular : ona-hrü
‘to conceive’ and ona-sokro ‘to abort’,
then, are compounds. |

‘eye’ in 381.2a ad 381.2b unlike 381.1, is a componential
part of a compound : it does not agree in person
with the subject noun because it is syntactically
insular : hi)-rü
‘to stare’ and hi)-li
‘eye-one’ (= to wink) are compounds.

ona in 382.2a and 382.2b, unlike
in 382.1 is a componential part of a compound
as it does not agree in person with the subject
nouns because of its syntactic insularity.
ona-hrü ‘to conceive’ and ona-sokro
‘to abort’ are compounds by this criterion as
well.

Anaphora |
Compounds being anaphoric islands in a syntactic
sea, nouns within compounds are not available
