The Koryak dual has no possessive forms. 



Plural and dual are formed in the same way as in all attributive 

 terms in -iji: — 



Chukchee Kor. Kam. Kamchadal 



my .... gimni'net (pi.) gvmni'nat (dual) Tcnna^ n {yA.) 



gumiii'nau (pi.) 



From these possessives, forms with suffixes originate. 



gumnine' td (Kor. Kam. gumnina! to) with mine. 



It is, however, more customary to use the personal pronoun with 

 the suffix instead. 



gomokai'pu qdi'mityin take it from me! (instead of take it from 

 mine) {ggmokaipu see § 56; q — gin imperative; einiit to take) 



Demonstrative pronouns form two possessive forms: 



wo'igani wo'tganen and wo'tqanEnen jbelonging 



this [(men's pronunciation wo'tgden and wo' tgdEnen)] ^o this 



Enqa'nl Euqa'nen and E'nqanEnen jbelonging 



that [(men's pronunciation Eiiqa'en and EnqaEn€n\ ^^ ^"^*^ 



The forms in — Eiiin may be considered as compounded with the 

 possessive of the third person singular personal pronoun Eni'n, so that 

 thc}^ would be parallel to the plural forms of the demonstrative 

 possessives discussed in g 58, p. 729: wo'tqauErgen (man's pronunciation 

 wo'tqdErgen) and E'nqaiiEvgen (man's pronunciation E'nqdErgen). 



The possessives of proper names in Koryak are formed in the 

 same manner; as 



Quyqinnaqu' nin nawa'kak Big-Raven's daughter Kor. 76. 14. 

 Amamqu' tinin na' initqat Ememqut's woman Kor. 45.1. 



Kamchadal uses the suffixes with the possessive pronoun quite 

 frequently. 



hima'nVinV with my ears (Jcivnan my; -l' instrumental; m ear) 

 mi'nenV x'va'iiV with which knife % 

 i'lzninV Tccx'oV with other dogs
