There is another type of attributive construction in which the attribute
follows the head nominal. And head nominal is always a personal pronoun in
the language. In these phrases also the modifiers agree to nominal form in
gender-number and case. A few examples are:

constituents are nouns having equal role i.e. both are heads and both are
attributes to each other. Most of the appositional phrases have proper name

There are noun phrases formed with the combination of two or more nouns
and nominal forms with or without any connective. Coordinate noun phrases
are mainly of two types in the language (i) additive or inclusive which
occurs with /d€/
‘and’ or without any connective and (ii) alternative which occur with
the connective /ya/ ‘or’. Nouns conjoined without any connective are
generally related with each other. In the additive noun phrase when nouns
belonging to different genders occur as constituents then the whole phrase
behaves like a masculine plural as far as the agreement rule is concerned.
In the alternative phrase the agreement is according to the following
nominal form of the phrase. Examples are :
|
|
Ìndstan
|
dE
|
pakstan
|
‘India
|
and
|
Pakistan’
