Combined with the numeral particle:
* prep. + ''a'' = prep. ''n-a'' (e.g. ''fé n-a'')

The clitic combinations generally have the following pattern:

Combinations with the article:

  3. ↑ Sometimes in sa, which is interchangeable with sa.
  4. ↑ Sometimes in san, which is interchangeable with san.
  5. ↑ Sometimes in sna, which is interchangeable sna.
