Datapoint Diu Indo-Portuguese/Order of demonstrative and noun

In addition to their function as demonstratives, proximal es and distal ikəl also have a non-deictic use, in which case they attribute a feature of definiteness to the head of the NP they modify. In either of these functions, these elements consistently precede the head noun.
