==== Positional nouns ====
Positional nouns indicate positional, directional, or some more abstract relation to a definite referent (a person or proceeding noun in relative case). Positional nouns have possessive suffixes but no inherent number. {{citation needed|date= May 2021}}

Unlike ordinary nouns, positional nouns have two adverbial cases: [[Locative case|locative]] and/or [[Ablative case|ablative]]. The most important stem {{lang|ale-latn|i-}}, called the dative, has only a locative form (largely irregular) meaning 'to, at, for-'. {{citation needed|date= May 2021}}

Most are used in absolutive case, as in {{lang|ale-latn|ula-m agal-a agikux̂}} 'he passed behind the house'. They can also be used in the relative case, as in {{lang|ale-latn|laavki-m agal-a-n ula-a}} 'the house behind the store'.<ref name=":0" />
