*''-n'' (Nom.: ''-ní''; Gen: ''-́ni''): Used to nominalize verbs. The verb is placed in the subordinate. | |||
**Unlike with other nominals, the verb can occur in the plural - e.g. ''rubdóonan'' "that they live"; ''ku ma yarkínon'' "that he did not see you" | |||
*''-m'' (Nom.: ''-mí''; Gen: ''-́mi''): Used as a head for otherwise headless attributives. It can often be roughly translated to ''the one''. Its meaning overlaps with that of the definite article, but ''-m'' is more general and cannot be used without a modifier - e.g. ''kíishim'' "mine"; ''dhéerem'' "the tall (one)" | |||
