===Possessive pronouns===
===Possessive pronouns===
There are a variety of strategies to mark possession, ownership, and affiliation in Classical Aeranir, depending on many different factorsAlienable and inalienable possession are distinguished, as well the degree of control the possessor has over the possessee.
Possessive pronouns in Aeranir distinguish between many more different types of possession than ordinary nouns, which use only the genitive to mark possession, ownership, association, etcPronouns distinguish both alienable and inalienable possession, and may also mark the degree of control the possessor has over the possessee.   
 
Objects of inalienable possession are marked with the genitive of a personal or demonstrative pronoun.  These include body parts, kinship and familiarity terms, personal attributes, emotions, or thoughtsThese pronouns generally proceed the possessee, although that is not always the case, especially in poety.  Singular pronouns ''tī'', ''nī'', ''cī'', ''sī'', ''ustī'', and ''ūlī'' may be appear as ''tei'', ''nei'', ''cei'', ''sei'', ''usti'', ''ūli'' before words starting with a vowel, and ''te'', ''ne'', ''ce'', ''se'', ''ust'', ''ūl'' before words starting with ''i''.
 
Alienable possession, including essentially all other categories, is marked via possessive adjectives.
