prefix which derives gerund-like constructions from verbs.
In these constructions, eh , or eh plus pronoun or noun, precedes the m- verb. In some constructions, the prefix m- its plus verb is the referent of ya "what, that which". These constructions can be translated with an English gerund. In a construction with two contiguous actor
focus verbs, one or both may be translated with an English gerund. If only one is translated as a gerund, it will be the second
verb, as in the example below.
