Usage notes
This suffix takes the place of the ordinary possessive suffixes (mch -dü, mch -i, etc.) and plural suffix mch -komo and does not ordinarily co-occur with them. (It may occur with a following mch -komo as mch -tonkomo, but in this case it indicates plurality of the possessor rather than the possessed noun.) For many kinship terms, it attaches to a suppletive form rather than the ordinary form of the noun. Exceptionally, it is never used with the kinship term mch nne son or daughter.
