If you want to talk about having something in your possession, you add the affix -Ka- directly to the end of a noun:
| ulu + Ka + ven? = | |
| uluKaven? | Do you have an ulu? |
| ulu + Ka + vunga = | |
| uluKavunga | I have an ulu. |
-Ka- deletes a final -k sound that comes before it:
| Kagitaujak + Ka + vâ = | |
| KagitaujaKavâ? | Does he/she have a computer? |
| Kagitaujak + Ka + ngi + tuk | |
| KagitaujaKangituk | He/she doesn’t have a computer. |
| titigautik + Ka + vutit = | |
| titigautiKavutit | You have a pen. |
| uKâlautik + Ka + jon? = | |
| uKâlautiKajon? | Do they have a phone? |
THE ENDING -LIK
If you want to say, 'he/she has something,' Nunatsiavummiutitut speakers avoid the construction Ka + vuk, and use the affix -lik instead:
| titigutiKavâ ? | Does he/she have a pen? |
| Âa, titigutilik. | Yes, he/she has a pen. |
The affix -lik deletes a final -k sound that comes before it:
| atuagak + lik | |
| atuagalik | He/she has a book. |
Note, too, that -lik is not used to make a negative sentence; the construction Ka + ngi + tuk is used instead:
| Auka, atuagaKangituk. | No, he/she does not have a book. |
| Auka, titigutiKangituk. | No, he/she does not have pen. |
