I'm making a new language. It's called 'Great Language (Waqkáhner 'Ahésa)'.

Of course, the morphemes are rather more complex than that, with allomorphs depending on just about everything.

be.finished carry ACC.3s.DEF.ANIM.REL be.mother VRB-GEN.2s.MASC
I carried your mum.

This is an idiomatic expression meaning that I married your mother. The final part of the Ngolu marriage ceremony is that the groom carries his bride around the entire circumference of Aa. This is a distance of a bit more than 18km. When they return, provided she has not once touched the ground, they are married. It's not as prohibitive as it sounds - the Ngolu are a good deal more sexually dimorphic than Earthlings.
