====Object marking====
Verbs may take up to two object suffixes, for a direct object (DO) and indirect object (IO). These only differ in the {{gcl|1EX}} and {{gcl|3SG}}. The {{gcl|IO}} suffixes are also used on nouns to indicate possession (''mako-kwa'' 'my pot', ''mako-a-kwa'' 'it is my pot').

Two object suffixes are only allowed if the first (the {{gcl|DO}}) is 3rd person. In such cases the {{gcl|DO}} reduces to the form of the attributive suffix: ''-e'' ({{gcl|M}}.{{gcl|SG}} / {{gcl|F}}.{{gcl|PL}}) or ''-i'' ({{gcl|F}}.{{gcl|PL}} / {{gcl|M}}.{{gcl|SG}}); only context tells which combination of number and gender is intended. 3rd-singular direct objects also reduce to this form in the imperative singular; 3rd-plural change their vowels but do not conflate with the singular: see 'dead zebra' under nouns above for an example of the forms.
