-ÿí
- possessive marker
Usage notes[edit]
- In practice, the suffix takes one of the following forms: í/i, ú/u, wú/wu, or yí/yi, depending on the quality and tone of the preceding syllable. The phoneme marked by ÿ is no longer present in surviving dialects of Tlingit, but is marked as such to clarify the otherwise unpredictable stem change.
