Being a head final language the Umbrean language utilizes postpositions rather than prepositions and adpositional phrases would come before the noun. "''On the table" would be said as''"''The table on''" and a noun phrase like "''The cat on the table''" is said "''The table on the cat''", in an essence the opposite of english. Similar to greek and other languages the case of the noun that is within its phrase affects often the acctual meaning of the postposition. | |||
Postpositions are inflected according to Gender and Case of the noun within its phrase, if it is first or second person it is inflected according to the living gender. | |||
If the postposition does not get an inflection on it, it is a particle used for the circumtational voice for verbs. | |||
