Once a noun takes on a locative case, it is treated as a modifier, coming immediately after its head. However, it can still be given modifiers of its own that may intervene between the locative and its head. In this case, locative nouns take on their own group, alongside subject nouns and object nouns. | Once a noun takes on a locative case, it is treated as a modifier, coming immediately after its head.

====Pronouns==== | ====Pronouns==== | ||
Pronouns come in five persons: first, second, third animate (humans and domesticated animals), third inanimate (other animals, objects, concepts), and third person spiritual (ajma, sacred people/places, the dead). These four persons aare split into four grammatical categories: Nominative (used for the subject of the verb), Accusative (used for the object of the verb), Possessive (used as a genitive and modifier), and Adpositional (used when the prnonoun is declined with a loactive). | |||
