Question 113:
You are a linguist specializing in Komnzo. You are given a sentence along with its morpheme breakdown, gloss, and translation. Words are separated by spaces, and morphemes are separated by hyphens. However, a word and its gloss are missing and represented by an underscore. Based on your understanding, please choose the most appropriate option. 
Sentence (with missing item): fi fthé e-n-thorak-w-a-∅ ... mnz kabe fof nima ___ nä tmatm fefe nz=ŋ-a-wä-nzr-∅ mane=ma kabe zä naf. nz=y-a-na-thr-∅.
Gloss (with missing item): THIRD.ABS when STNSG.ALPH-VENIT-arrive.EXT-NDU-PST-STSG ... house people EMPH QUOT ___ some event real IMMpst=M.ALPH-VC.-break.EXT-NDU-STSG which=CHAR man PROX TSG.ERG. IMMpst=TSG.MASC.ALPH-VC.-eat.EXT-NDU-STSG.
The English translation of this sentence is:`At that time the house owners returned to the village. They looked around and said, ``Something terrible has happened. From which village was the man who she ate here?'''
Here is a relevant knowledge point for this example, with the related morphemes and glosses masked: Examples (\ref{ex006}) and (\ref{ex007}) show the intricate architecture of Komnzo verbs. The verb forms in both examples are inflected for various grammatical categories. The agreement target for \isi{gender} is the third \isi{person} singular prefix on the verb, as can be seen in the last verb `eat' in example (\ref{ex007}). Person and \isi{number} are encoded in the \isi{undergoer} prefix as well as the actor suffix. However, these slots are underspecified: the second and third \isi{person} in the \isi{non-singular} are neutralised in both slots. The first \isi{non-singular} and second \isi{singular} are neutralised in the prefixes. These can be disambiguated by the free pronouns. In both slots, \isi{dual} and \isi{plural} are neutralised. The system of \isi{number} marking combines a \isi{singular} vs. \isi{non-singular} opposition in the prefix and suffix with a \isi{dual} vs. \isi{non-dual} opposition in the duality affix. Thereby, one arrives at the three \isi{number} values (\Sg, \Du, \Pl). For about half a dozen high frequency verbs, such as the \isi{copula} (\ref{ex006}), the stem itself is sensitive to duality. For all other verbs, duality is either encoded by a prefix, as in the second verb `look around' in (\ref{ex007}) or by a suffix as in all other verbs in (\ref{ex006}) and (\ref{ex007}). The morphological site of duality marking depends on the stem type. Almost all verbs in Komnzo have two stems from which aspectual distinctions can be build. I label the two stem types `restricted' ({\Rs}) and `extended stem' (\Ext). It follows that \isi{tense}, \isi{aspect} and \isi{mood} are expressed by a combination of verb stem, prefixes, and further suffixal material. As for the prefixes, there are five different \isi{prefix series} labelled \Alph{}, \Bet{}, \Betaone{}, \Betatwo{}, and \Gam{} and an \isi{immediate past} \isi{proclitic} (for example in the last two verbs of \ref{ex007}). Beyond TAM, the prefixes encode information about \isi{person}, \isi{number}, and \isi{gender}. Examples for the suffixal material are the durative suffix (\Dur{}) in both verb forms in (\ref{ex006}) and the \isi{past} suffix (\Pst{}) in the first two verb forms in (\ref{ex007}). The TAM value is calculated by unifying these different exponents. As the final category to mention here, the first verb `arrive' in (\ref{ex007}) is inflected for \isi{directionality}. The two values of \isi{direction} are \isi{venitive} `towards' (\Venit) and \isi{andative} `away' (\Andat).
