Heard on The Judges: " -nim" in possessive

[Wilson Gray]

Judge Penny (late-forty-ish black woman from Atlanta):

"How you gon' have five girlfriends and be so broke that you still
livin' in _yo' mama-nim house_?!"


I've never heard it expressed this way, before. I would have expected:

"... still livin' in the house _wit' cho' mama-nim_?!"


-Wilson

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
