Usage notes

Perhaps by error LĒL lists this term as type 127 – vȯņ which has consonant shift in genitive (vȯn) a pattern that is not possible for this term. The next type (128) which is almost identical to the highly regular āigast type (except for inverted locatives.) Līvõkīel-lețkīel-līvõkīel sõnārōntõz (page 60), in turn specifies two inessives Kanādõs and Kanāds just like for 135 – āigast which is the type given in this entry.
