§ 87. The Relative or Genitive Case -Einl, -Em 



These suffixes have the function of the Indo-European genitive case- 

 endings. 



-Etnl is suffixed to the absolutive form of the noun; and when 

 added to nouns that end in a long vowel, its obscure e is contracted 

 with the long vowel of the noun and disappears (see § 9). The noun 

 to which this suffix is added is always the object of the action.
