"Hidung saya penuh (dengan baunya yang tidak menyenangkan),"

oleh kerana "saya" adalah topik, subjek "hidung" is associated with "me": That is, ia difahamkan sebagai "hidung saya". Note that "nose" itself is unmarked for case, as it's the subject of the intransitive verb "to be".

Besides case, the role of a noun in a clause may be indicated with adpositions. Any adposition may occur as either as a preposition before the noun, or as an enclitic after the noun, a greater degree of freedom than human languages allow. For example, "with you" may be either hu nga or ngahu. When used as enclitics, they are much like the numerous cases found in Bahasa Hungarian and Bahasa Finnish. When used as prepositions, more along the lines of what English does, certain of them trigger lenition. One of the leniting prepositions is mì "in", as in mì sokx "in the body". This may cause some ambiguity with short plurals: mì sokx could also be short for mì aysokx "in the bodies".

The grammatical distinctions made by nouns are also made by pronouns.
