I forgot part of the entry.  It should be:

wufenkab - belong to
      cl. "wu" [P/F-s] = other binary relational state.  mod. "fe" = 'own/possess'.  "n" precedes suffixes and separates them from the root.  suffix "ka" = 'inverse'.  POS "b" = verb, 2 args, static.

Appendix B of "Lexical Semantics" defines the inverse suffix thus:

     -ang [Saweli "-ka"]    inverse (A/P/F-x -> P/A/F-x)
