The Different Forms of Prepositions
The most likely place for you to find suffix pronouns is as the direct object of a transitive verb. So possession is marked with a combination of the article plus the possessive marker plus the noun. And then another thing about these prepositions is they have one form for when they go with the noun and a different form when they have a pronoun suffix. This business happens all over the language where what follows the word and how it would be linked in an intonation unit changes the shape of the word. It's really fascinating that, you know, that they had all this variation and that native speakers did this all productively.
