Usage notes

• Prepositions always interpose нїхто (njixto) and нїч (njič) in inflected forms. For instance, the instrumental case is formed as нї з чим (nji z čim) or нї зоз чим (nji zoz čim) rather than *нїчим (*njičim). For the instrumental and locative cases, this is the only way to form them, and a declined form as one word does not exist.
