====Locative prefixes====
The locative prefixes indicate a location or motion, they precede indirect object prefixes and can only occur word-initially. There are several locative prefixes indicating different grammatical person (there are no additional distinctions in first or third person, as there are in other personal affixes):

Example: '''''ǐ'''h·alna kamì'' “I went outside” (lit.: “into it I went, which is outside”.
====Indirect object prefixes====
The indirect object is expressed with prefixes, which can be used with both verb types, just as the locative prefixes. There are several indirect object markers indicating not only person, but also proximity and a category, usually called '''internal state''', which idicates a person’s [[w:Personal identity|identity]] and various aspects or attributes of their personality. There is no direct correspondence to this category in human laguages, [[w:Personal pronoun#Gender|gendered pronouns]] is likely the closest analogy, yet a misleading one, since draconids are neither male nor female. The internal state is carried by the first person singular only, while other person markers can show the attitude of the speaker towards the listener (in case of second person marker) or other person. There are seven states, six “coloured” and one neutral or “white”. 3 person also has [[w:Animacy|animacy]] distinction,
