===Predicative possession=== | ===Predicative possession=== | ||
For alienable possession, 'X has Y' is expressed with the construction ''mór'' Y ''vo'' X", or "''mór''-[pronoun affix for pronominal X] Y". | |||
For inalienable possession, it is unnecessary to indicate the fact that X has Y, hence this existential construction is not used. To say 'X has an [adjective] Y' the topicalizing construction 'X {{sc|predicative adjective}} Y-{{sc|possessive suffix}}' (hence 'X, his/her/its/their Y is [adjective]') is most common. | |||
