The affix -miuk- means, someone who comes from the place described by the root of the word:
| Nunaingumiuk | someone from Nain |
| KipukKamiuk | someone from Postville |
| kikiammiuk | someone from Rigolet |
| Apvitommiuk | someone from Hopedale |
| Maggovimmiuk | someone from Makkovik |
As we see in the above examples, -miuk can appear at the end of a word. But we can also build onto it to talk about different people. We do this by adding the verb -ngu- to the the end of -miuk- and follow it with a verb ending:
| kikiammiunguvunga | I am from Rigolet. |
| Maggovimmiunguvunga | I am from Makkovik. |
We can easily change the verb ending to talk about different people:
| kikiammiunguvuguk | We (2) are from Rigolet. |
| Maggovimmiunguvusi | You (3+) are from Makkovik. |
We can also add -miuk- to the question root nani- (meaning where?) to create a question:
| nani + miuk + ngu + ven? = | nanimiunguven? |
| Where are you from? |
