The Functions of the Preposition K- in Mehri
Aaron D. Rubin
Pennsylvania State University
The Mehri preposition k- with is used in a variety of idiomatic functions, some of which are not fully treated in, or are absent from, the exisiting grammatical sketches of Mehri. These include expressions of possession, of physical or environmental conditions, and of time. Not only is a description of these important for our understanding of Mehri, but some of these idioms, due to their peculiar nature, are also valuable for cross-linguistic study.
