 These 'states' may be indicated by different suffixes, e.g., "ne kune-t" 'the child' → "ne nu-kune-w" 'my child; "ne sin-ti" 'the maize' → "ne nu-sin" 'my maize'; "ne es-ti" 'the blood' → "ne nu-es-yu" 'my blood'.When both states of the noun are zero-marked (like "mistun" and "techan"), the noun is 'invariable'.The possessive indices tell us the person and number of the possessor, which may be specified by a noun phrase following the possessed noun.
