Problem 9

Explanation

From the given information, we know the following vocabulary:

• o!miaw = cat
• mee!ow = girl

The example sentence "o!miaw nmee!owi eng" means "a girl is watching a cat". Breaking down its structure:

This sentence pattern has specific rules:

1. The Object is placed at the beginning of the sentence.
2. The verb "watching" follows the pattern n ... i eng, where the Subject is inserted in the middle.
3. The 'w' at the end of the subject merges with 'i' to form 'wi' (mee!ow $\rightarrow$ nmee!owi).

To translate "a cat is watching a girl", we swap the subject and object:

• Subject: Cat (o!miaw)
• Object: Girl (mee!ow)

The arrangement becomes:

1. Object at the front: mee!ow
2. Predicate + Subject: Insert o!miaw into the pattern n ... i eng to become no!miawi eng.

Thus, the complete sentence is:

So, the answer is mee!ow no!miawi eng.
