`nih [wt] [HTB] [wiki] u: nih [[...]][i#] [p.]
be in or at, on (used only with one syllable nouns). very much like a preposition, but is used more for euphony than to add any real meaning to a prepositional phrase, (more an enclitic, which when used with "ti" plus a noun, indicates that something is in a place in a very indefinite and general way, without specifying, inside, on top of, in front of, under etc.) This word becomes so much a part of the noun to which it is joined that it loses its own tone. It is assimilated or absorbed into the tone of the word before it. When "niq" is pronounced correctly, it is hardly heard. It should never be emphasized.

上旬
suun [wt] [HTB] [wiki] u: suun [[...]][i#] [p.]
