Jumban
Three types: one with the oblique following the noun (NOUN OBLIQUE); one with a postpositional phrase using 'zok' following the noun (NOUN OBLIQUE zok); and the last with a postpositional phrase using 'vùa' (NOUN OBLIQUE vùa).
The first type is used for most nouns and all inanimates. The second type is used for kinship terms and other terms deemed close enough to kinship terms (house, heir, etc). The third type is the preferred type for humans, their body parts, and other animates.
