Possessive
adjectives 4
The
proper possessive adjectives for your
and their are dha and aga,
and they go before the noun, e.g.:
dha aval your
apple
dha lever your book
aga chei their house
aga broder their
brother
However,
dha
your behaves like y his and causes a soft mutation[1] of
the initial letters of some nouns, e.g.
cath a cat
dha gath your cat
cota a coat
dha gota your coat
pocket a
pocket
dha bocket your pocket
dama a mother
dha dhama your mother
And,
aga
their behaves like o my and hy her and causes a
spirant (breathed) mutation of the initial letters of some nouns, e.g.:
cathes cats
aga hathes their
cats
cotys coats
aga hotys their
coats
puskes fish
aga fuskes their
fish
tesednow cakes
aga thesednow their
cakes
qweth cloth
aga wheth their
cloth
Putting
some of these into sentences:
Ma mona luck en dha bocket. There is enough money in your pocket.
Dha gath a dhabras aga fuskes. Your cat
ate their fish.
Plos ew aga hotys. Their coats are dirty.
Coth ew aga thesednow. Their cakes are old.
You
can even add personal pronouns for extra emphasis.:
Ma mona luck en dha bocket che. There
is enough money in your pocket.
Dha gath che
a dhabras aga fuskes. Your cat ate their fish.
Plos ew aga hotys anjei. Their coats are
dirty.
Coth ew aga
thesednow anjei. Their cakes are old.
