The second kind of noun bases are compounds, which are formed from two noun stems and sometimes an enclitic of obscure meaning (e.g. , 'his tears', from , combining form of 'eye', and , combining form of 'water'). The third kind of noun bases are nominalized verbs or phrases, which may or may not include some kind of a relative enclitic. Examples include , 'zebra, tiger', from the identical verb meaning 'marks are on it', and , 'badger', from the verb , 'he scratches out' plus the relative enclitic 'he who'.
