chay' pIm <cha' DarSeqmeywIj>, "My two darseks" je? yIqel:

DarSeq - a darsek
DarSeqwIj - my darsek
cha' DarSeqmey - two darseks
cha' DarSeqmeywIj - my two darseks

<cha'> is a number here - it counts the noun it modifies. <cha'wIj
DarSeqmey> can only mean "The darseks of my two (somethings)" or "My two
(somethings') darseks". This doesn't really make any sense.
