Note 4 — II. GRAMMATICAL ANALYSIS.
Reading edition
In a sense the last three constructions, which do not employ the particle na, ŋ, stand opposed to the first, which does. Constructions 2 and 3 make it possible to speak, in a very wide sense, of three “cases” in which an object expression may stand: “subjective” 5aŋ ílog the river, “disjunctive” naŋ ílog of the river, and “local” sa ílog in the river; but it is to be observed that these “cases” are not confined to any class of words, but appear in any word or phrase when it stands in the object construction.4
