Words written through the hyphen (-) indicates an insertion of a case ending. When used with cases other than nominative or accusative, a possessive suffix always comes after a case ending, so it is sometimes called a postfix. For example: ''utuovjau'' - "on his/her hand". When a plural number of a possession must be indicated, a plural ending is used instead of a singular one. If a word is a subject or a direct object of a sentence, then a corresponding plural ending is added before a possessive suffix: ''oivakēk'' - "their head", ''oivahkēk'' - "their heads" (the nominative plural ending ''-k'' changes into ''-h-'' due to a consonant gradation. | Words written through the hyphen (-) indicates an insertion of a case ending.
