====Possessive affixes====  


Affixes mingle with the cases... Alienable vs. inalienable ''Dothee óntelon gat'''s'''/vakuh'''oz'''.'' (A man is watching his house/ his own hand.)  
Possessive affixes draw a distinction between alienable and inalienable possession: ''Dothee óntelon gat'''s'''/vakuh'''oz'''.'' (A man is watching his house/ his own hand.)  
*Interpretations: ''gat dothi'' (the house which the man has temporarily settled in = rented), ''gat dothor'' (the house which is owned by the man)
*Interpretations: ''gat dothi'' (the house which the man has temporarily settled in = rented), ''doth gathos'' (man with his house which he has purchased), ''gat dothor'' (the house which was inherited and is now owned by the man)
*''gatlsl'' (his houses), ''gatlóf'' (their houses), ''gatsh'' (with his/their house), ''gatos'' (with his houses), ''gatós'' (with their houses), ''gatees, gateis, gans, ..., gatósó, gatsu, gattos'' argh!
