As mentioned in the [[Nidâri#The_Participial|Participial Section]], the participial and its head, the object, are in form identical with that of a nominal possessive phrase. The possessor of the NP serves as head and the possessum its dependent, just as the direct object serves as the head of its dependent, the participial.
