Genitive pronouns
Genitive pronouns always agree with the possessor, not the noun it modifiers.
For example, the word andwlita 'appearance' declines masculine, however if we were to translate her appearance, the 3rd person pronoun would decline feminine as hire andwlita rather than his andwlita.
Hire | andwlita. |
/ˈxi.re | ˈɑndˌwli.tɑ/ |
3S.F.GEN | appearance.NOM |
“Her appearance.” |
His | andwlita. |
/xis | ˈɑndˌwli.tɑ/ |
3S.M.GEN | appearance.NOM |
“His appearance.” |
