Different possessive forms and interpretations: | |||
*''Dativus possessivus'' (alienable): ''gat doth'''i''''' "the house which the man has temporarily settled in, i.e. rented" | |||
*Comitative and alienable possessive suffix: ''doth gat'''hos''''' "man with his house which he has purchased" | |||
**Inalienable possessive suffix alters the meaning: ''doth gatho'''zh''''' "man and his birth place" | |||
*Possessive case (almost inalienable): ''gat doth'''or''''' "the house which was inherited and is now owned by the man". | |||
The noun in possessive case is not inflected further. With dative case, inflection may be utilized in order to distinguish the ''dativus possessivus'' from the indirect object or benefactive: ''Onzaiton pof tuph dothish slokli.'' (The feather is being lifted with a man's stick for them.) | |||
'''Possessive affixes''' draw a distinction between alienable and inalienable possession: ''Óntesoson dothee gat'''s'''/vakuh'''oz'''.'' (A man is watching his house/ his own hand.) With the basic suffixes, the root is inflected first and then suffixed. | |||
