| Consider the following which further support
our observation. Here are four sets of sentences. In the
first any once of each, the object of possession (the
head N) is alienable and apna expresses exclusiveness
of possession, and in the second sentence in each set,
a clause has been added to the first sentence so as to
express the meaning that the ownership of the relevant
object is shared. As expected, the resultant sentences
are ungrammatical. |
