====Possessed nouns====

Possessed nouns, or nouns that take possessive suffixes, are a closed class; this group covers only the nuclear family nouns ''ob'' 'father' (pl.''obáje''), ''óm'' 'mother' (pl. ''ómác''), ''och'' (pl. ''ocháje'') 'brother', ''ochoc, ocht-'' (only 'my sister' (nominative) takes ''och'''c'''i'') 'sister' (pl.''ochvác''), ''ben, bn-'' (pl. ''bnáje'') 'son', ''bęc'' 'daughter' (pl. ''bnác''). Only the singular forms can take possessive suffixes. Note that the plurals are all irregular in order to distinguish the plural case-marked forms from the singular possessed forms.

Only the singular forms can take possessive suffixes: ''ochi'' 'my brother', but ''ochava li'' 'my two brothers', ''ochájely li'' 'my ≥3 brothers'. Note that the plurals are all irregular in order to distinguish the plural case-marked forms from the singular possessed forms.

All nouns in this class follow the same declension w.r.t. possession. The oblique can be formed by adding ''-bi'' to the end of the accusative/genitive possessed forms.
