=====Double object affixes=====
Ditransitive constructions employing double object affixes (which occur in the order {{sc|verb-IO-DO}}) can only be used with certain combinations of pronominal objects, not with full noun phrases (another constraint is that the recipient outrank the theme in animacy; hence ''capsascā́ny!'' 'feed me it!' is licensed but not ''*capsascáun!'' 'feed me to him!'). Participles and supines (objects patterning as in finite verbs) may receive a similar "double possessive" suffix.

When another suffix is added to the 2nd person singular, the combining form of the 2nd person singular suffix is ''-zy-'' regardless of the gender.
