 Another well-known example is the degrammaticalization of the North Saami abessive ('without') case suffix -"haga" to the postposition "haga" 'without' and further to a preposition and a free-standing adverb.Moreover, the morphologically analogous derivational suffix -"naga" 'stained with' (e.g., "gáffenaga" 'stained with coffee', "oljonaga" 'stained with oil') – itself based on the essive case marker *-"na" – has degrammaticalized into an independent noun "naga" 'stain'.Linguists have come up with different interpretation of the term 'grammaticalization', and there are many alternatives to the definition given in the introduction.
