The pattern te __________-s tútl’o corresponds to English ‘his _________‘. You can insert any noun into the slot to make the equivalent of ‘his _____‘, as in:
- te lá:lems tútl’o – his house
- te méles tútl’o – his child
- te sqwemá:ys tut’lo – his dog
Tútl’o means ‘he/him’, and you can translate the –s marker roughly as ‘of‘, so literally the structure is close to ‘The _____ of him‘.
