Ex.) Gurigaa gashaba hoos buu ka guban. THe house burned down from inside.

Simple adpositions These imply something about the motion of the verb. All have high tones.

Fusional adpositions

Negation The negative marker ma may fuse with the simple adpositions, maintaining its low tone. (ú + ma -> úma)
