Fyape do I use nga to make "YOUR"? As in I like "your" ikran.

Normally you would make something possessive by adding (yä) (if it ends in a, e, i, ä or ì) or ä (if it ends in anything else), but nga is an exception - its possessive form is actually ngeyä.

[21:42:59] <@Muzer> now they are just expensive

Nga - , although as it is mentioned in NiaN, pronouns like these are a special case.  Instead of saying ngayä, you would say ngeyä by applying the -eyä suffix instead of either -ä or -yä.

po/fo is another "exception": peyä/feyä.

A really odd exception is Omatikayaä.

Has that been confirmed? To me it sounds like omatikayoä or omatikayuä.

If I make a mistake, please bring it to my attention for karma.

Sweet thank you and is there a thread in here that explains word order easily without the word "constituent".
