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. | Body part nouns may precede a head noun already marked with one of the case clitics to add more locational, directional, or positional precision.
