sts: again my "dindu" -> "zodindu", if that makes sence.

stefo,
i would use "zodindaw".  the way it's given here, it looks like the town is in the (act or event of) each family owning a parrot.

stevo,
"zodindaw" is an open noun. we would need an open adverb before it to have an oblique argument. what do you think of this:

"goy vezdimba mi tumi dawnsi va dindu zodindaw setsa sulupo viselumu."

stefo,
