Someone suggested translating "I have dysentery" using {ghaj}. My
understanding is that {ghaj} indicates possession or ownership and so would
probably not apply to a disease. Could you use {ngej} "infect" - {pom
vIngej} "I am infected with dysentery"; or perhaps {mungej pom} "Dysentery
infects me"?
On another issue, how do you use {chang'eng}? Would "pair of shoes" be
rendered "shoes' pair" and so {chang'eng waqmey}?
