Possession in modern Nahuatl

[Henry Kammler]

Well, the internet comes so handy,
tlâ titlatski...

Adding to Marie Rikke's hints:

a good overview for classical nahuatl is

Thelma Sullivan "Compendium of Nahuatl Grammar" (or "Compendio..." - I
think the Spanish version contains less materieal, or the other way
around...?)

I don't think that possession is mighty different from classical N in
the modern dialects (except for plural forms for "inanimate" nouns).
[OK, this could start a threat on the transformations of possessive
paradigms in the respective dialects...]

Widely available should be
- Pittman's concise treatment of Tetelcingo (Morelos) Nahuatl (1950 or
so)
- Benjamin L. Whorf's sketch of Milpa Alta (DF) Nahuatl in
H.Hoijer(ed.) "Linguistic Structures of Native North America" 1946
- Yolanda Lastra "El náhuatl de Tetzcoco (Edomex)" 1988 or so

I guess, Jonathan Amith's Ameyaltepec (Gro.) lessons are still online
(www.yale.edu  ....somewhere), as are other online-tutorials
there's tons... just google it up!
