Lyaib Attributive Clauses
From UniLang Wiki
Attributive clauses are used to give further information about a noun. The syntax is simple: the main noun is followed by the particle ubf or übf, which is followed by the attribute.
The particle übf is used to express possession, ubf for other cases.
If the attribute is a noun or an adjective, it is considered to have a focus position. So there's usually no need for a case prefix or a word class suffix.
