The NP heads marked by ''matti'' and ''hambin'' must be in the Absolutive, as in the following examples: ''"Matti min redad"'' (There is a man, somebody is there) and ''"Hambin redad"'' (There is no man, nobody is here). The existential particles may precede a clause, in which case they are joined to the clause using the Preposed-''Wa'' structure, ~~e.g~~: ''Hambin redad, wattaharan šaħkurkampiš >> *Hambin redad, wa=tah=aran šak-hurk-an-pi=š~~'' [~~NEG.EXIST man CONN=2S=DAT DESID-harm-INTRANS-ANTI=IRREAL] = "There is no man (here) who wants to harm you.~~" The~~ correferent NP (i.e. Pivot) of the clause following the existential clause must also be Absolutive.

| gloss = NEG.EXIST man CONN=2S=DAT DESID-harm-INTRANS-ANTI=IRREAL

| translation = There is no man (here) who wants to harm you.

}}

In these structures, the correferent NP (i.e. Pivot) of the clause following the existential clause must also be an Absolutive argument.
