 As mentioned, Nivaclé generally lacks adpositions (prepositions and postpositions), as the directional affixes and clitics fulfill the roles played by adpositions in other languages.The language has a genitive noun classifier for possessed domestic animals and another for possessed prey (hunted animals).For example, it is not possible to say directly the equivalent of "my horse", but rather it is necessary to say the equivalent of "my-domestic.animal.classifier horse".
