Pronunciation
Pronoun

- Нїхто нє зна. ― Njixto nje zna. ― No one knows.
Usage notes
- Prepositions always interpose нїхто (njixto) and нїч (njič) in inflected forms. For instance, the instrumental case is formed as нї з ким (nji z kim) or нї зоз ким (nji zoz kim) rather than *нїким (*njikim). For the instrumental and locative cases, this is the only way to form them, and a declined form as one word does not exist.
