Like I say, if you use {zu'i pe mi}, you'll be understood immediately, you
won't leave metaphysical questions dangling, and you can go about your
business actually telling a story.


But, of course, {zu'i pe mi} doesn't answer the question, which ask for
predicative not attributive possessive (all those -n's). {ta du zu'i pe me}
is "That is my whatsis" not "That is mine."  {memimoi}, hideous as it is
