The suffix -रा /-rɑ/ loses its function if followed by any postposition as

already presented in (50a-c).
e) Plural pronouns followed by postpositions
As we observed only pronominals are marked by suffixes for case

identification, but only in singular number. So, plural pronouns are only followed by
postpositions to, for case identification as the nouns do. Almost all postpotisions to

mark nouns for case-identification are used in the environment, as shown in (51a-c).
