In both languages, nouns can receive a peculiar " anaphoric suffix " comparable ( albeit apparently not identical ) to a definite article, and nominal modifiers are marked by Suffixaufnahme ( i. e. they receive a " copy " of the case suffixes of the head ); in verbs, the type of valency ( intransitive vs transitive ) is signalled by a special suffix, the so-called " class marker ".

In nouns, the sequence in both languages is stem – article – possessive suffix – plural suffix – case suffix – agreement ( Suffixaufnahme ) suffix.

However, while a possessive construction such as this is most frequently found in Suffixaufnahme, other nominal constructions may also show similar behavior.

It can be said to display a kind of Suffixaufnahme in that the nominal class markers of the head were also attached to any modifiers, including adjectives, noun adjuncts, possessor nouns, and even entire clauses.

The morphemes which may occur in a noun follow a strict order: stem-article-possessive suffix-number and case suffix-suffixes received through Suffixaufnahme.

They also obligatorily precede agreement suffixes added through Suffixaufnahme: e. g. Argište-šə Menua-ḫi-ne-šə " Argišti ( ergative ), son of Menua ( ergative )".
