*''-n'' (Nom.: ''-ní''; Gen: ''-́ni''): Used to nominalize verbs. The verb is placed in the subordinate.

*''-n'' (''f.''; Nom.: ''-ní''; Gen: ''-́ni''): Used to nominalize verbs. The verb is placed in the subordinate.

**Unlike with other nominals, the verb can occur in the plural - e.g. ''rubdóonan'' "that they live"; ''ku ma yarkínon'' "that he did not see you"

*''-m'' (Nom.: ''-mí''; Gen: ''-́mi''): Used as a head for otherwise headless attributives. It can often be roughly translated to "one". Its meaning overlaps with the indefinite pronoun, but ''-m'' is more general and cannot be used without a modifier - e.g. ''kíishim'' "mine"; ''dhéerem'' "tall (one)"

**When the attributive ends in a consonant, an epenthetic ''-i-'' is inserted - e.g. ''labim'' "male (one)"

**Attributive verbs ~~always~~ in the 3SM when ~~used with~~ ''-m''.

**Attributive verbs occur in the 3SM form when ''-m'' takes the place of the subject. Otherwise, it occurs in the subordinate form appropriate to the subject.
