Another vocative shift, though in ths case it is between the vocative and
the referential form. Ths is very regular in the texts.
nudaN'haNga=akha 'the warleader'
nu'daNhaNga' 'o warleader'
I find both nu'daN and nudaN' for 'warpath'. I didn't notice a
conditioning factor.
I did notice one anu'daN 'I go on the warpath'. I hadn't previously
realized this form could be inflected, and I'm not sure it is very
frequently.
