POSSESSIV PRONOUNS

The possessivs, my, mine, thy, thine, etc., may be rendered in two ways :

1. By the kimafal of the pronoun; fat oba, my father; fat obas, our father.

2. By the termination -ik, forming a possessiv adjectiv ; buk obik, my book; buks omsik, their books; buk at binom olik, this book is yours.

The kimafal is used when otherwise there would be too much repetition

of the termination ik.
