When used as attributives, they appear directly before the noun phrase. Unlike Minhast, which requires a connective particle to join the demonstrative to its head, in Nahónda the demonstrative is simply juxtaposed before its head, e.g.: | |||
{{Gloss | {{Gloss | ||
|phrase = Wanko šúnkawakaninéhi owožutkopi kasukakatsané<sup>1</sup> | |phrase = Wanko šúnkawakaninéhi owožutkopi kasukakatsané.<sup>1</sup> | ||

| morphemes = wanko šúnkawakáne-ne-hi owožu-tko-pi ka-suka~ka-tsa-né | | morphemes = wanko šúnkawakáne-ne-hi owožu-tko-pi ka-suka~ka-tsa-né | ||
| gloss = DIST horse-DET.cylindrical.object-AGT grass-DET.flat.prone.object-PL 3MS.AGT-run~INT-EVID.VIS-INTR.ACT | | gloss = DIST horse-DET.cylindrical.object-AGT grass-DET.flat.prone.object-PL 3MS.AGT-run~INT-EVID.VIS-INTR.ACT | ||
| translation = That horse is always racing across the plains. | | translation = That horse is always racing across the plains. | ||
}} | |||
The demonstratives may also be used as substantives, acquiring full noun status. Additional suffixes, such as determiners and case markers, may then attach to them, e.g.: | |||
{{Gloss | |||
|phrase = Wankonéhi owožutkopi kasukakatsané. | |||
| IPA = | |||
| morphemes = wanko-ne-hi owožu-tko-pi ka-suka~ka-tsa-né | |||
| gloss = DIST-DET.cylindrical.object-AGT grass-DET.flat.prone.object-PL 3MS.AGT-run~INT-EVID.VIS-INTR.ACT | |||
| translation = That (cylindrical-shaped) one is always racing across the plains. | |||
