Possessed Nouns
Body parts and parts of objects are inherently possessed. They take nominal inflections for person as well as an A series pronominal proclitic. The only exception is inanimate possession, which has zero marking on both ends. Some possessed nouns are irregular. Obligatorily possessed nouns can also be preceded by a possessor, particularly with third person possession.
