This is literally ‟X's saliva is flowing out of X's mouth” and so is inflected for ‟subject” by possessive prefixation of the noun -zekw ‟saliva” and object marking of z̲ahainli ‟it flows out of the mouth of”. However, unlike a true phrase, the disjoint reference rules do not apply.

Examples

(1) Usz̲ekw usz̲ahainli. `I am drooling.'
