wotvetlh Hutlh je Ubykh Hol. Daq ngu'bogh wot tu'lu'bej, 'ach Daq ngu'meH,
wot moHaq lo'nIS (-Daq, bIng, Hur, retlh...). 'ach DIvI' Hol ngu'meH wotmey
'oS DIp mojaq neH.
Also with Ubykh. There is a verb that can specify locations, but it must
take a preverbal element specifying what location (within, below, outside
of, on the side of...); however, the copulas of identification and role are
given with a noun clitic.
So it seems that, overwhelmingly, who needs "to be"? {{:)
