The noun is the first element in noun phrases, being followed by other elements. Inalienable possessors, used mostly for kin terms, and terms like "body", or "household" directly follow the head noun, while alienable possessors occur later in the noun phrase, after adjectives and numerals, and are preceded by a genitive particle that agrees in noun class and number with the head noun. Adjectives also agree with the head noun, as do lower numerals. Demonstratives follow after these elements and alienable possessors, also agreeing with the head, and display 3 degrees of distance, as well as a fourth form used in narratives. They may co-occur with a discourse anaphoric demonstrative, which does not agree. Demonstratives and adjectives both may head noun phrases, agreeing with an omitted head. Relative clauses occur at the end of the noun phrase, and have two different structures based on whether the noun is the subject of the relative clause or not. Both mark the verb in the relative clause with a "selectional" suffix, while subject relative clauses also prenasalise the first consonant of the verb stem, with non-subject relative clauses being preceded by an agreeing genitive particle instead, like an inalienable possessor. There are three prepositions, expressing "like/similar to", "with", and "until", as well as a set of locatives, locative modifiers, and locative nouns. Locatives precede a noun phrase, marking both inside vs general location at, and distance. They are often accompanied by a locative modifier which occurs after the noun phrase, and display more specific locational meanings. Locative nouns instead function as the head of a noun phrase, being possessed by the noun they relate to, akin to English "the front of the house". Locative phrases are unspecified for directionality, with this being lexically specified by the verb (eg. go vs come),. Proper nouns can serve as locative phrases without locational marking.
