Usage notes

• Definite article:
  • Comes immediately before noun. In the Arabic and Ge'ez scripts, combines to following word.
  • When the noun is qualified by a cardinal number, the article precedes and agrees with the number.
  • Nouns in oblique cases use an absolutive article.
• The clitic genitive ka is identical in form to the absolutive masculine definite article. Confusion can be avoided by using the long clitic form kee(sh) or the non-clitic form keeshi.
