Vocabulary Analysis:

• ckeeck?: young bird

Sentence Structure Analysis

Example sentence: bo ckeeck? mwbluwpz

Meaning: "a fish watches a young bird"

If we break down the structure:

• bo: Sentence starter (marker).
• ckeeck?: Object (young bird). Notice that the object is placed after the word "bo".
• mwbluwpz: Subject (fish) with the prefix mw-. The root word "bluwpz" (fish) gets the "mw-" prefix.

So, the sentence pattern for "Subject watches Object" is:

Application to the Question

We are asked to translate: "a young bird watches a fish".

• Subject: young bird (ckeeck?) $\rightarrow$ must add the mw- prefix to become mwckeeck?.
• Object: fish (bluwpz) $\rightarrow$ placed after "bo".

So the arrangement becomes:

1. Starter word: bo
2. Object: bluwpz
3. Subject (with mw-): mwckeeck?

Combination: bo bluwpz mwckeeck?
