Nina: It needs the plural: harantaa. The verb has the pural: they
went...
See Warder, lesson 8.
In the back there is a grammatical index that is useful. You can look
up: present particip.

Nina: Piya solved this one with the sentence: he went where the Lord
was. Because of the yena... tena.. I think it has to be nominative.
They went where the sala was.
