gaw – that

Fraser suggests in his Handbook of the Lisu language (1922) the following examples:

hte-ma nya ngwa rgh uga law – This is mine (p. 8) – note that Lisu has no possesive forms and that the personal pronoun is used.

A va hte-ma – this pig (p.12)

H’i gaw-ma – that ouse (p. 12)

La-htsaw hte-a – this man (p. 13)

Here are a few more nouns that I collected (in Pinyin):

ga – spider

ko tsih za – pigeon

yi ko- room

qi – ruler

cih – foot

la zhu – sword

sa tsa – promise

wa/ va – human
