LOCAL CASES The local case-endings are alike in the singular and the plural, but they are added to different stems of inflection, the nominal stem in the singular ending in m, in the plural in n. This is the same in the Greenland and in the Alaska dialects. Only the prose- cutive case is excepted; since in the singular it shows a consonantal stem ending in Z:, but in the plural either a lengthened stem ending in -te, or a lengthened suffix {-fhjuf).
