Arok:

• Workshop June 2014: There are really two “locatives” since with humans and animals you get -inâhk which is really a distributive marker. NB: mostosinahk = “Buffalo country” (lit. ‘among the buffalo’) and is lexicalized. Sasinâhk = Sarci country (Tsuut’ina). AW thinks ‘nation’ could be translation for -inâhk derived forms.

NS152 introductory course book:

Locative suffixes -ihk, -ohk, -hk translate as “in the, on the, at the, to the, from the” (-inâhk is not mentioned)

• for nouns with k-endings use “ohk”, ex. atâwew’kamikohk
• for nouns with semi-vowel endings use “hk” - delete the semi-vowel, lengthen the preceding vowel and add “hk”, ex. ôtenaw → ôtenâhk
• for all other nouns use “ihk”, ex. tehtapiwin → tehtapiwinihk

FST:

• ANimDECLnaahk for humans and animals for giving only collective Loc, -inâhk
