A middle plus A/P-d is equivalent to P-d "Jepumpumoy", which means
'Open!' or 'Become open!'.  To capture the semantics correctly, use a
vocative and an imperative:

    Jepumpamoy dayfo!
    = Open the window!

    Dufamwe! Jepumpamoy dayfo!
    = You!  Open the window!
  or
    Jepumpamoy dufamwe dayfo!
    = You, open the door!

Since a vocative has the syntax of an oblique argument, it can appear in
any argument position.
