Definition
a possessive modification construction that always includes either body part relations or kinship relations (but not necessarily both), and contrasts in the language with an alienable possession construction. Example: Crow ba-apé 'my nose' is an instance of inalienable possession, using the distinct index b- (cf. the alienable index bas-). (Sections 4.1.4, 5.2.3)
