    <p>Dear all,</p>
    <p>The same phenomenon can be found with kinship terms in the Bantu
      languages, where there is a cline going from full suppletion
      (typically for 'father' and 'mother' with a singular possessor) at
      one extreme, to the use of an independent agreeing possessive
      pronoun at the other. In between, we find the use of a personal
      ("substitutive") pronoun instead of a possessive pronoun ("they
      mother"), and possessive pronouns that lack an agreement marker
      and/or are more strongly morphologically and phonologically bound
      to the possessee, which can be reflected in their position in the
      noun phrase.</p>
    <p>You may find a brief overview and some examples in Section 5 of
      the attached paper, to appear in the Oxford Guide to the Bantu
      Languages.</p>
    <p>All best wishes,</p>
    <p>Mark<br>

        In many southern Italian 'dialects' and in Romanian the
        possessive for inalienables is an enclitic marker derived from
        the same etymological source as the alienable possessive e.g.
        Neapolitan
        <i>patemo</i> 'my father' vs <i>o cane mio </i>'my dog' -
        literally 'the dog my', where both<i> mio</i> and
        <i>mo </i>are reflexes, respectively tonic and atonic, of Latin
        <i>meu(m). </i>There is a brief discussion with references on
