Definition

a strategy for the presentational possession construction in which the possessum is incorporated as part of the possessive predicate. Examples: Tundra Yukaghir mārqa-n lāme-n'-ŋi [one dog-with-3pl.intr] 'They had one dog' is an instance of the flexional (inflected) subtype of the predicativization possessive strategy, and Pitjantjatjara ngankulukula-tjara [I spear-proprietive] 'I have a spear' [lit. 'I am spear-having'] is an instance of the copular/zero (uninflected) subtype of the strategy. (Section 10.4.2)
