A fact from Natchez language appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 September 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The glossing here is obviously wrong, since doesn't even have the right number of morphemes, let alone other lines of reasoning. Unfortunately, it's not possible to be sure what exactly the correct, intended, glossing is, just based on the information on this page. I recognized the "paː" as the SECOND.PERSON.OPTATIVE affix given in an earlier section, so I changed it to:
I don't have access to the source cited and I don't speak Natchez, so I added a "dubious" marker to my new form hoping someone with access to the cited book would check to see if I guessed correctly. DubleH (talk) 07:27, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DubleH: I have checked the source on Google Books, the relevant page 415 is visible for me. You are absolutely right about the second.person.optative (2OPT), but plural/plural is actually correct. It means plural subject acting on plural object. –Austronesier (talk) 07:39, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
