====Case marks==== | |||
Case marks are added always at the end of a word, and they can be attached a definite article before, after or both before and after the word. If we take the word ''melke'' (coast), we can form the word ''melkeitez'' (melke + -i- (definite article) + -tez (locative case)), which means "from the coast" or "coastal". The definite article -e attached to the whole word would result in ''melkeiteze'' (the one (masculine) from the coast). We can keep adding affixes until we get really long but meaningful words | |||
