Leko notes
- The pattern found with the object prefixes carries over to the benefactive and malefactive prefixes, which involve -n and -h suffaxation, respectively, and where V=i).
- Van de Kerke (2009: 304) gives two forms for the 3pl object prefix (either identical to the singular, or to the 2pl), but does not discuss what conditions them.
