        My Azak uses two different genitive-cases:

- the -ug suffix is the absolutive genitive. It is used when if the
determined noun was changed to a verb, the determiner would be in the
absolutive case.

- the -uzh suffix is the ergative genitive. It is used when if the
determined noun was changed to a verb, the determiner would be in the
ergative case.

Azak is head-initial, so the determiner is put after the determinee.
