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 :)
