When the Verb to be is understood, but not expressed, or where the Demonstrative Verbal Particle i (which is equivalent to the Verb to be in all its parts) precedes the Noun, and serves as the Verb to be; or after the Pronominal Particles i, u, tu, twa, nu, nwa (see page 579) ; or after the Particles se, ne or nze ; or when -ina is combined with vo (bena vo) ; the Noun following never takes an Article, not even in a Relative Clause, and so far overrides that far-reaching rule.
