====Inflection of inalienable nouns====
Mbula contains a class of nouns which are obligatorily inflected with genitive suffixes. ''[[Alienability (grammar)|Inalienable]]'' describes the semantic nature of the nouns. That is, they are semantically considered in speakers’ minds to be inalienable or inseparable from something. Examples include body parts and family members – concepts which exist in relation to something else, just the way an edge cannot exist without being the edge of something. Following is a list of the genitive suffixes:
