Rayanese possession isn’t anything special. Rayanese uses possessive determiners and pronouns derived from the genitive standard personal pronouns. I did change the personal pronouns mainly to have distinct plural stems for the 3rd person forms. Here is the new set of personal pronouns (leaving out the reflexive and reciprocal forms):
singular | plural | |
1st | mo | wo |
2nd | to | vo |
3rd animate | lo | jo |
3rd inanimate | so | ho |
These pronouns can change gender to agree with their antecedent, like –o adjectives. For example, to you (neuter.), tu you (masc.), ta you (fem.).
From these we derive the possessive determiners and pronouns:
singular | plural | |
1st | mosi | wosi |
2nd | tosi | vosi |
3rd animate | losi | josi |
3rd inanimate | sosi | hosi |
These decline like -i adjectives.
mos huz – my male twin mosen huzen – my female twins.
With all these updates, I should update my main conlang site!
