          This enclitic can also have a plural meaning, especially when referring to objects other than humans.

          When used in reference to God, the enclitic is capitalized and is prescribed to be separated from the base word with a hyphen, as so:

          Segala puji bagi-Nya.
          All praises to Him.

          When it is used to emphasize an adjective, the adjective is usually placed in front of the sentence, with the enclitic being stressed in the pronunciation.

          1 2 When it is used to nominalize adjectives or verbs, the suffixed results are dependent (i.e. cannot stand by itself).
