Does anyone have a clear example of a head-initial double-marked possessive construction, something along the lines of [father-her Sarah-of] 'Sarah’s father'? I need one last example of the 6 possible final/intial | head/dependant/double/no marked patterns for a slide in my typology class. I can’t seem to turn one up anywhere. </pre>

Amerindian Spanish, e.g. Yucatec Spanish: su papá de Sara<br>
