===== Nominal Deictic Clitics =====

Nankôre uses two set of clitics in place of demonstrative pronouns, one set to indicate spatial relations, and another set to indicate temporal location of a NP. If a temporal deictic clitic is attached to a noun representing a living thing, the noun is considered deceased; if attached to non-living entities, it means that the entity is demolished(e.g. buildings) or otherwise destroyed.

~~Verbs have their own set of deictic clitics. Unlike the nominal deictic clitics, the verbal deictic markers include clitics that refer to future time (see Verbs section).~~
