I am interested in the annotation of the last three words: nchunga kwa Mary translated as beans for Mary.

  • is there no plural noun class prefix on nchunga?
  • kwa looks like a complex word composed of kw-a, with kw as the noun class agreement marker and a as a possessive marker. ??

Could you help Jean :)
