double-marked possessives

[Edith A Moravcsik]

As Leon Stassen noted, Hungarian does indeed possessive
constructions where both the possessor and the possessum are marked;
and, furthermore, it is indeed the case that the possessor does not
always have to be marked. However, whether the possessor is or is
not marked for the genitive does not depend on whether it is
definite or indefinite.
