    Now, you will also notice I used "tu'a lo ko'a gercmo" instead of
"lo ka ko'a gercmo".  There is two reasons I did this.  First, I do
prefer to use tu'a X when seraching for an object (as it says in
jbovlaste).  And secondly, because "lo ka ko'a gercmo" does not mean " the
property of his  bark", but in fact means "the property of him being a
barker" (because the ko'a is now part of the bridi "ko'a gercmo" (he
barks), not a possessive like it was before, without the ka.

But {lo ko'a gercmo} means "ko'a's barker". Who is his barker?
