I want to look at componding in Dagbani. I tried entering the data and sometimes I find it difficult segmenting the morphemes. For instance, chechebara can be segmented as cheche + ba+ ra. bicycle ride AGENTIVE MARKER.SG In a sentence like O ba cheche. 3SG.SBJ ride-PAST bicle-OBJ I can form a compound out of the VP 'cheche 'bicycle' and verb ba 'ride' later I add the agentive marker '-ra' to form chechebara' bicycle rider.
We also have NN compounds like => daabia da-a + bi-a market-SG child-SG trader
na-a + bi-a => nabia chief-SG child prince
We also have VV compounds kpi + yi => kpiinyi die go out walking dead Here the vowel in the compound is doubled and epenthetic nasal is inserted.
