So far the PROP (underline) lexicon is a dummy pexicon that just gives +N+Prop, and then redirects to NOUNSUF_01.

Words from lexicon PROP_HEIMONNIMET are "old" tribe and place names, which have an optional infix for some cases, while some do not.

In HEIMO_SUFFIXES_LA, we append the cases with their post-ла realizations. Examples:

Case Infix No infix
Iness. Салья-ла-н Салья-ын
Illat. Салья-ла Салья-е
Elat. Салья-ла-сь Салья-ысь
Egress. Салья-ла-сен Салья-ысен

Note also that the infix results in a 'short' case affix.

In HEIMO_SUFFIXES_NIL, the word gets cases with no infix.
