===Predicative possession===
===Predicative possession===
"X has Y" is expressed with the construction "''[[Themsarian/Verbal subparadigms|mór]]''  Y ''vo'' X", or "''mór''-[pronoun affix for pronominal X] Y" if X is animate. If X is inanimate, the construction ''X ā Y'' ('X is with Y'), or ''X ast Y'' ('X is without Y') is used. (''Mór'' is a suppletive verb.)
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.
