Body part nouns may precede a head noun already marked with one of the case clitics to add more locational, directional, or positional precision.  The singulative determiner does not surface before a singular body part noun, as would be expected.  The following example illustrates this type of structure.  Here, the noun ''kilái'' "heart", often combines with a noun marked with the locative clitic ''-eva'' to convey an inessive sense.
