[dai-bendu-conlang]

I'm working through some Dai Bendu translations, and I got to the Padawan vows. So, one of the words is "mipadananal", which appears to mean "education". The interesting thing here, is that before that, there's "mimayaah", which means "entrust". From the context, these could mean "(my) education/(I) entrust", since they both start with "mi -". Is the "mi -" added on to the rest of the word in order to confirm that its a me/I statement, or is that just a coincidence?

Lucky you, I just went over that story again because I noticed a spelling mistake and had to update to account for clearer orthography.

So, first of, the updated vows are:

“Padenji foh keelak chareu leo'ah foh. Leo'ah foh keelak Padawanir.” - I will teach you everything I know. I know you as (my) Padawan.

"Mimaya'ah foh keelak mipadenanal kat fehl. Leo'ah foh keelak Jaieh'ir." - I entrust you with my education. I know you as (my) Master.

Now for the words, yes, the mi- is not a coincidence!

mipadenanal is the comitative case of padenan which is the nominalization of the verb paden, to teach, to guide

This is an overview of our cases (we’re working on the public doc still, but we’re getting there!)

As you can see, if you’re not familiar with comitative, it means “with, together with”

Derived from that mi- is roughly supposed to highlight something being done together.

Mimaya'ah is the present tense form of mimaya which means “to entrust” opposed to just maya “to trust”

So for a complete deconstruction of the Padawan vow:

Mimaya'ah [PT, entrust] foh [NOM, I] keelak [AKK, you] mipadenanal [COM, with education] kat [of] fehl [DAT, me].

Lit.: I entrust you with the education of me

Leo'ah [PT, know] foh [NOM, I] keelak [AKK, you] Jaieh'ir [ESS, Master].

I hope this answers your question!
