===Non-verbal predicates===
Mam adds Set B person markers to nouns and adjectives to form non-verbal predicates. The following Set B person markers are used for non-verbal predicates (i.e., nouns, adjectives). Also, in statives, ''aa'' can be omitted when the rest of the stative is a non-[[clitic|enclitic]] (in other words, a separate, independent word).
