っぺがやる following 連用形


Spoken in a dialogue:

> こういうのは言いだしっぺがやるもんだろ

As far as I can tell from context, it's "As if it were me who brought that
up!" (it wasn't me, it was you!). However, I can't find any explanation on the
web as to what っぺがやる (or is it っぺ ＋ bound particle ＋ やる? or case particle?)
following RY form of a verb actually means. I'd be grateful if someone could
please explain this structure.




Have you read the article referred to by Choko?

If not, the following might be of help:

[code]

    こういうのは言いだしっぺがやるもんだろ
    
[/code]

which is decomposed to

[code]

    こういうの + は + [言いだしっぺ + が + やる + もん] + だろ
    
[/code]

  * こういうの <- こういうもの This (kind of things, items etc.)
  * は indicates that こういうの is the subject for this entire sentence.
  * 言いだしっぺ one who (have) brought up
  * が indicates (with stress) that 言いだしっぺ is the subject for the verb やる.
  * やる, to do, to carry out.
  * もん <- もの thing, item...
  * だろ <- だろう is(n't it?)

Together they mean

[code]

    This is what should be carried out by the one who brought it up, right?
    
[/code]
