<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>
</p>

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
pp. 755-6 of my chapter 'Determination and quantification' in
