Flexion. The language is devoid af articles, but flexion 

 generally supplies this want. The indefinite article, indicating a 

 part or some of a whole or of a kind , is rendered by the widely 

 used Modalis (appos. niik), especially for the object of halftransitive 

 verbs, or more generally explaining the action, f. e. ujarkamik tig- 

 usivoq (halftr.) he took a stone; ujarkamik milorpâ he pelted him 

 with a stone; ujarak (obj. case) tiguvâ (trans.) he took the stone.

 and especially as subject of a sentence, the article „a" requires the 

 addition of ila (part) wsf. , f. e. ivssaq tuliiit (pi. of tultik English-
