=====Possession===== | |||
Possession is indicated by joining the possessor to the possessum with the connective ''si=/shi='', followed either by the verb ''ras/rash'' to indicate inalienable possession e.g. ''Koykare shi=naho rash'', "The boy's mother", or ''ocité'' for alienable possession, e.g. ''Koykare shi=mashka ocité''. If the possessor is lower in the animacy heirarcy, the inverse marker ''ta'/tah'' is prefixed to the verb, as in the improbable ''Mashka shi=koykare tah-ocité'', "The anthill's boy". | |||
