=== Suffixes === | |||
There are five cases which are formed by attaching suffixes to a word. Dative, locative and ablative will be called ''local cases''. To these three case endings, postpositions can be attached, whose meanings may change depending on the used case. The suffixes and their conjunction with the postposition ''s'' 'in' are shown in the following table. | |||
