In Surgut Khanty, if the argument of the postposition is a noun, it does not take personal suffixes (1). However, if the argument of the postposition is a personal pronoun, it is compulsory to mark the postposition with a coreferent personal suffix (2)–(5). Case suffixes with adverbial meaning are attached to the personal suffix, and the personal suffix is attached directly to the stem of the postposition (5).
