A small quirk of morphosyntax; when a prefix is attached to a word, any suffix is not attached after the words itself, but after the prefix, i.e. '''''*wə-ŋa-kur''''' ('our chief (erg.)') not ''**wə-kur-ŋa''. This includes instances of [[w:Suffixaufnahme|suffixaufnahme]], such as those which commonly occur with the honorific; '''''*wə-cin-ŋa-kur''''' not ''**wə-ŋa-kur-cin'' or ''**wə-cin-kur-ŋa''. | A small quirk of morphosyntax; when a prefix is attached to a word, any suffix is not attached after the words itself, but after the prefix, i.e. '''''*wə-ŋa-kur''''' ('our chief (erg.)') not ''**wə-kur-ŋa''.

Unmarked nouns can be used as a genitive construct state, wherein the possessor comes before the possessed, e.g. '''''*kur-beŋ''''' ('the chief's house'). Occasionally, the 3rd or 4th person possessive pronouns may come before the main noun, depending on the salience of the possessor within the discourse ('''''*kur ī-beŋ''''' or '''''*kur kə-beŋ'''''). | |||
