"We walking questioned to the rich people dwelling on the road if they could offer any work to us"

џэнам is ergative despite жаныглайкџъ being present because the present tense on that verb indicates it's happening at the same time as the main verb which is in the past; 3rd person for all animacy levels is ERG/ABS.

While traveling we used to ask every rich person who lived near the road if they normally needed to work.

Notes

The agent nominalizer makes a habitual contruction with a copula.

There is no present copula, so in the cases where it can't be omitted not to cause confusion the past or future copulas are used. the choice between them is left to the speaker, but most naturally choose the past if the general situation is in the past, the tense is actually the recent past, or the aspect or mood "feel" more past like (ex. habitual or perfect); and use the same metrics for the future, with aspects or moods like the imperative or the incohative.

Some allophones are not written.
