Marking of possessor and A and/or S with the same set of affixes

[Jorge Emilio Rosés Labrada]

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
