> Dear everyone,
>
> Mako [wpc] employs the same set of affixes to mark the possessor on the
> possessed noun (See example (1) below) and to mark the A and the S on the
> verb (See examples (2) and (3) below). I was wondering if you were familiar
> with other languages that share this feature (i.e., same set of markers for
> nominal possession and verbal subject marking) and could let me know. I am
> particularly interested in Amazonian languages (especially languages from
> the North West Amazon) but information on any language will be most
> welcome.

> Thanks in advance for your help. Best,
> Jorge
