<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I know that this sentence is non-Ca'Non, but there's something I wonder..
Isn't the {ngIq maH} third person ? So, how can we have the {ma-} on the {pIm} ?
Doesn't this violate the accord rule, or however the @!#! you call it,
when the verb prefix doesn't agree with its' subject ?</pre>

<p>As with all noun-noun constructions, it's the final noun in the
series that determines what "thing" you're talking about. Here, <b>maH</b>
is acting like a noun and is the final noun. So the phrase <b>ngIq
maH</b> <i>each of us individually</i> is in the first person.
We're talking about <i>us.</i> What kind of <i>us?</i> The <i>taken-as-individuals
us.</i> <b>mapIm ngIq maH</b> is correct.<br>
