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. mik), especially for the object of halftransitive 

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

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

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

 If more expressly one individual out of several or many is meant, 

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

 addition of ila (part) wsf. , f. e. ivssaq tuluit (pi. of tuluk English- 

 man) ildt (one of the) nunalipoq the other day an Englishman 

 landed; whereas tuluk nunalipoq means: the E. (of whom was
