<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0cm;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The transitive verb <i>lomon</i> ‘to think’ in Tiang (Oceanic,
Papua New Guinea) ends in a fossilised third-person singular possessor enclitic
<i>=n</i>. The verb derives from the inalienably possessed noun <i>lomo</i> ‘mind, thought, pulse’. As far as I know, <i>lomon</i> is the only verb in Tiang
with remnants of person marking.<span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0cm;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">(A fossilised third-person singular possessor enclitic <i>=n</i>
is also present in the adjective <i>rokon</i> ‘good’.)<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"CMU Serif"">“I have been looking for references which talk about pronominal affixes on verbs which have become fossilized and are now part of the verb root. I checked Anna Siewierska’s book on
person but I could not find anything. Do you know of any?”<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"CMU Serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"CMU Serif"">Presumably, what Jose Antonio’s is looking for is above all citable treatments. However, if the phenomenon hasn’t been dealt with exhaustively (which it may not), I’m sure examples
will be helpful as well.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
