The suffixes of the '''s9''' slot mark the dual number of the first person patient – ''-ij'', – and the second person patient – ''-uv''. This slot is preceded by '''s10''', which contains suffixes of [[w:Clusivity|clusivity]]: ''-(j)e'' (exclusive) and ''-i'' (inclusive), and which corresponds to '''p6''' of the prefixing conjugation. | The suffixes of the '''s9''' slot mark the dual number of the first person patient – ''-ij'', – and the second person patient – ''-uv''.

The final slot of the suffix conjugation '''s12''' contains [[w:Focus (linguistics)|focus]] markers. The focus marker describe new, prominent or previously mentioned information. Among nouns and stative verbs focus markers are used for agreement and establishment of syntactic functions, and this agreement is then reflected on the main verb. The slot contains two subsets of suffixes – one is used to mark relationship between subject and object based on their distance; the other is used to indicate, which part of speech is marked. The two subsets act in a slightly different manner, but they form a single system: | The final slot of the suffix conjugation '''s12''' contains [[w:Focus (linguistics)|focus]] markers.
