Suffix
kl suffix enclitics
kl enclitic
vocative enclitic; marks an address
Usage notes
Causes nasalization of a preceding stop consonant by
-k > -n(g)-
-t > -n-
-q > -rng-
May freely be connected by hyphenation instead of assimilation, in which case the word to which the enclitic appends is unchanged; this difference is purely orthographic, and stops are still nasalized.
