And so with go “ a cow,” Gen. gos, and the other cases go ; golo “ a 
bull,” Gen. golos, other cases golo ; bid “ a boy,” Gen. bids , other cases biu. 
But Genitive of tchiga “ a woman” is tcliugoya while the Dat. is tchilge- 
ra, the Acc. teliiga-ze , the Abl. tcliuge-yono and the Instr. tchiga-ya. The 
post-position suma “ with”, governs the Genitive. 
The Plural is irregular though generally ending with a vowel for the 
nominative and by the same vowel followed by n (and by the appropriate 
post-positions, if any) for the oblique cases.
