Maltcégj has no definite article, and the indefinite article ''am'' is only used to specifically represent the number ‘one’. Its use of articles in this respect is very similar to Latin or Russian; definiteness is only expressed using the terms ''úli'' ‘this’, ''úla'' ‘that’, and ''úlot'', ‘that (other) yonder’ (or, respectively, the proximal, medial, and distal deixes). There are additional deixes which are used primarily for discussing time (see Pro-Forms). | |||
