===Case=== <ref name="Rood, David S. 1976" /> In the Wichita language, there are only case markings for obliques. Here are some examples: ====Instrumental case==== * The suffix Rá:hir, added to the base * Another means of expressing instrument, used only for body parts, is a characteristic position of incorporation in the verb complex ** '''ha:rhiwi:cá:hir''' 'using a bowl' (ha:rhiwi:c 'bowl') ** '''ika:rá:hir''' 'with a rock' (ika:ʔa 'rock') ====Locative case==== Most nouns take a locative suffix kiyah: {{interlinear|lang=wic|indent=3 |top= ika:kíyah |ika:ʔa -kiyah |rock LOC |'where the rock is'}} But a few take the verbal {{transliteration|wic|italic=no|-hirih}}: {{interlinear|lang=wic|indent=3 |top= hánnhirh |hir-ahrʔa -hirih |ground LOC |'on the ground'}} Any verbal participle (i.e. any sentence) can be converted to a locative clause by the suffix {{transliteration|wic|italic=no|-hirih}} * '''{{transliteration|wic|italic=no|tihe:ha}}''' 'it is a creek' * '''{{transliteration|wic|italic=no|nahe:hárih}}''' 'where the creek is'
