Uatakassi has quite a few clitics.  There are pronominal clitics.  First
and second person have nominative, accusative [used only in
imperatives], and genitive, 3rd person for genders 1-3 (sentients) have
nominative [intransitive], ergative, accusative, and genitive, and 3rd
person for genders 4-7 have absolutive, ergative, and genitive.  Other
clitics:
-bu: Yes/no question (usually added to end of verbal phrase)
fil: "Not" (added to end of verbal phrase, precedes -bu if both used)
fla-: Certainly
Du-/B-: Only, merely (b- used before vowels)
Kuaa-/Kuag-: Without a specific purpose (kuag- used before vowels)
Puu-/Puk-: Again

There's also some particles that might be clitics, like _ku_ "and"
