ᴱQ. man tenuva súru laustane? “Who shall hear the wind roaring?”
The thirteenth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/213). The first word is man “who”, followed by the future tense of the verb ten- “to hear”. The object of the phrase is súru “wind” with the “bare stem” infinitive form of the verb lausta-² “to roar”, as suggested by Gilson, Welden, and Hostetter (PE16/84, notes on line #10 and #11), apparently functioning as either an active-participle or a verbal object.
Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:
man ten-uva súru lausta-ne = “*who hear-(future) wind roar-ing”
