==== Possessive pronouns ====

For possession, the ''ă lyor tam'' construction is standard for most nouns except family members and body parts where possessive prefixes are used (cf.

Nouns that take possessive prefixes cannot take a definite article and must take a possessive prefix when definite. In addition, ~~־אַר׳~~ ''-aŗ'' 'father' and ~~־מאָר׳~~ ''-~~moŗ~~'' 'mother' cannot occur as indefinite nouns and obligatorily take possessive prefix forms.
