Ref: Referential (Argumentative)
is used for the referential marker (also called argumentative, nominal). All lexical roots in Tupinambá are predicates. In order for these to function as arguments of predicates the Ref marker is used. Its function is nothing like that of nominal cases.
Examples
- t-uβ “father (existential predicate) / there is a father / be a father / have a father”
- t-uβ-a “A/the father(s)”
Loc: Locative
Examples
- ok-(ɨ)-pe “In the house”
Tra: Traslative
Traslative
Examples
- t-uβ-amo “as / in the quality of a father”
Per: Perlative

Voc: Vocative
The vocative can be expressed, among others, by the sufix we attached to the lexical root.
Examples
- ʃe-ruβ-we “ Oh, my father!”
Dat: Dative
Examples
- t-uβ-we “To the father”
