Locative
Munsee uses a special locative suffix (-ung), which turns a noun into a location and adding meanings such as:
- "to the"
- "at the"
- "in the"
- "on the"
This is different from English, which uses separate prepositional words.
- (umu) amoxoolung → (eng) in the boat
- (umu) amoxoolung<prn><pers><p1><sg><nom> → (eng) in<prn><pers><p1><sg><nom> the<prn><pers><p3><m><acc> boat<v><tv><fut><p1><sg>
