Moyen yet again, Jan!

For the sake of "completion," here is the same problem including the use of
adjectives.

Legend:
* ungrammatical
(*) marginal

> (1) _All Hinnerks Kinner_ and (2) _all mien Vadders Peer_ sound marginal,
> strange, awkward to me, (3) _Hinnerks all Kinner_ and (4) _mien Vadders
all
> Peer_ completely ungrammatical.  To me, the only ways they sound
acceptable
> and natural would be the following:
>
> (1) & (3) all de Kinner vun Hinnerk

De öldsten Kinner vun Hinnerk
(*)Hinnerks öldsten Kinner vun Hinnerk
Hinnerk sien öldsten Kinner
(Hinnerk's oldest chidren.)

All de öldsten Kinner vun Hinnerk
*All de Hinnerks öldsten Kinner vun Hinnerk
*Hinnerks all de öldsten Kinner vun Hinnerk
*All de Hinnerk sien öldsten Kinner
*Hinnerk all sien öldsten Kinner
(All of Hinnerk's oldest chidren.)

De witten Peer vun mien Vadder.
(*)Mien Vadders witten Peer.
Mien Vadder sien witten Peer.
(My father's white horses.)

All de witten Peer vun mien Vadder.
*All de mien Vadders witten Peer.
*Mien Vadders all de witten Peer.
*Mien Vadder all sien witten Peer.
(All of my father's white horses.)

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
