Pertensive

Pertensive marking is to head-marking languages what possessive marking is to dependent-marking languages.[1] For example, English, a dependent-marking language has a person's rodent, where the head is rodent and the possessive marking is on the dependent person's. In contrast, Shilluk has a pertensive affix on the head (e.g., dúup = "rodent", dû́uup = "rodent belonging to").[2] Other languages with pertensive marking are Nungon,[3] Hungarian, Mansi, and Khanty.[4] Some languages, such as Martuthunira employ both possessive and pertensive marking.[5]
