Read the following non-Ca'Non sentence from dsc:

They come to destroy our individuality.
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 ?

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