The possessive suffixes may be added to particles and attributive 

 elements that precede the noun. This is due to a tendenc}^ inherent 

 in the language to keep the principal parts of speech free from all 

 pronominal elements, and which finds its counterpart in the tendency 

 to add all subjective suffixes to the adverbs that precede the verb 

 instead of to the verbal stem (see § 26). 



In many instances the independent possessive pronouns (see § 114) 

 are used in addition to the possessive suffixes. This is done for the 

 sake of emphasis; and in all such cases the suffixes are added to the 

 independent pronouns, and not to the nominal stem.
