Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

According to [MFSJLK10], the meaning of this affix is 'area in such a direction'. It forms positional noun bases (i.e. spatial nouns) from demonstrative roots.

They note that it is primarily used with possessive endings, which attach to the form +{tə}N. However, if the affix occurs word-finally, they note that the form is +{n}N, although they do not record this as an alternative form, unlike other tə-stems.
