3.8.7.5.  -kke |
| The occurrence of the suffix -kke and its usage is a peculiar feature pertaining to Urali. This is also a locative suffix which always freely varies with all the nouns except the personal pronouns. When -kke is added to the nouns, it gives ‘possessive’ notion if the predicate of the sentence has no action verb, and the meaning ‘toward’ is conveyed if the predicate of the sentence is an anction verb. |
| Nouns which take -i as the locative suffix wll not take the inflectional increment -tt- before -kke is added and the consonant ending nouns will have an ‘u’, a phonic vowel before the additon of -kke. |
