SG marks a distinction between possession of something thought of as close to a person, and in a way inalienable. Examples of inalienable entities are body parts, relatives, and pets. Alienable objects on the other hand, include most all everyday objects.

Inalienable possession is marked my a possessive pronoun which precedes the possessee, and he pronoun differs depending on the onset of the following word.


Person/Gender Singular Plural
1 'moL' 'ar'
2 'doL' 'ur'
3M 'aL' 'an/am'
3F 'a' 'an/am'
