I'm just wondering where the noun-classes went.

But anyway, next.
CTFG-1.TRANS-3.REL-extinguish-VERB=CTFG-PERF
I've extinguished it.

2-CTPT-TRANS-3-carry=2-CTPT-PL=FUT
You (plural) will bring it.

story 1-to 2-CTPT-INTR-tell=POT
Tell me a story.

hawk DESCR snake=COM both=LOC 3-CTFG-INT-fight=CONT=CTFG-IMP
The hawk and the snake usually fight each other.

Do the glosses not look accurate to you? I don't know much at all about the language, but I trusted WALS for the examples.
