while still natural. Upon consultation with Munro and Lopez, I decided that this question, though containing a relative clause, was the most natural way to ask the question. All other simpler structures were judged too awkward. The following two figures are sample picture pairs from the body part preposition test. The corresponding question to Figure 10 is Cu'an bèe'cw nih zùub ni'ih me'es? 'Where is the dog that is under the table?' and the corresponding question to Figure 11 is Cu'an pelo't nih nàa'tga'ah dehts gyizhi'iilly? 'Where is the ball that is behind the chair?' Figure 10. Sample Picture Pair from Body Part Preposition Test: Cu'an bèe'cw nih zùub ni'ih me'es? 'Where is the dog that is under the table?' In Figure 10, the picture on the right corresponds to the correct answer to the question, and in Figure 11 it also happens to be the case that the picture on the right corresponds correctly to the question. 53
Figure 11. Sample Picture Pair from Body Part Preposition Test: Cu'an pelo't nih nàa'tga'ah dehts gyizhi'iilly? 'Where is the ball that is behind the chair?' The entire test, consisting of 16 questions, is presented in Table 15, below. The same figure and ground are presented in each picture, varying only in the locative relationship to one another, as seen by comparing the example pairs in Figures 10 and 11 above. 54
