Jarawara possessed nouns #

This file records the genders of Jarawara (Arawan, Brazil), its possessors, and its possessed nouns, after Dixon.

Jarawara has two genders, masculine and feminine, the feminine being unmarked. About 175 nouns, among them body parts, parts of wholes and places, are possessed by placing the possessor directly before them. Many of them have two forms, which Dixon calls the f form and the m form: the m form goes with a first or second person possessor and with a masculine singular one, and the f form with a feminine singular possessor and with a third person nonsingular one. The first and second person singular possessors are prefixes, the other pronouns separate words, and a third person singular pronoun is unpronounced. A possessed noun used without a possessor is feminine, with the one exception of atiwa 'thorn'.
