===Prepositions=== Prepositions are generally uninflected forms which govern a single noun phrase complement and relate it to a head or predicate. Mbula employs five categories of prepositions: #the referent preposition {{lang|mna|-pa-}} used for oblique arguments #the locative preposition {{lang|mna|-ki-}} used for animate goals towards which some entity moves, sites at which some entity is located and body parts which perceive something #the preposition {{lang|mna|-kembei-}} used to express resemblance, similarity or approximate equality (i.e., like, as) #the comitative and manner prepositions {{lang|mna|-ramaki-/-raama-}} used for accompaniment and manner #prepositional verbs discussed below ====Prepositional verbs==== These forms are a set of optionally inflected verbs which occur in serialisations functioning as case markers. As they may potentially contain inflection for third person singular in these serialisations, they depart from the typical uninflected preposition. However, they retain the prepositional function of relating a dependent noun phrase to a verbal head.
