II. Postpositions.
1. All the postpositions are used as suffixes to the words which they govern. When the noun to which they are suffixed has a double form, the postposition is added to the short form.
Ex. uli-tsi from uli(ne) pot: fatsi from fa(le), ground.
There are however some exceptions.
2. When the postposition begins with a consonant, the final e of a noun changes to i.
Ex. kodigi-tsi from kodige, plate; bulitsi from bule, garden.
3. The postpositions are often used as nouns.
