Comment:
Ad Feature 47 "Uses of the progressive marker": de is used as progressive marker here. Ad Feature 4 "Order of adposition and noun phrase": The specifying locative element tapo 'top, on' here follows the noun which is at the same time preceded by the general preposition na. od. stands for German oder meaning 'or'; it presents the verb siddom as an alternative to slibi in this context.
