since they came back from Babel [...].
Comment:
The verb komoto/komopo, 'come from/out' conveys 'motion-from'; in combination with adverbial baka 'back' it expresses 'return from'. The source is marked by the all-purpose preposition na which does not contribute anything to the meaning. The preposition fu does not cooccur with komoto/komopo.
