Re: demonstratives

Teran doesn't follow a case system, so I can't help you there. There is both
the near and far demonstrative and each is directly suffixed to the
antecedent with a hyphen.

aoto-an that car
aoto-co this car.

----------------------
"I want this one."

Ho an nu cos.

I this-one at-this-time would-like.

"I want that one."

Ho co nu cos.

I that-one at-this-time would-like.
