Applied laws: MAG:GA_MA · LARSEN:POSSESSION

Academic teaching rationale

Why — ga- 'have/with X' vs ma- 'without/lacking X' form minimal pairs on nouns (gabunuru/mabunuru luck) and verbs (ga- on a verb = 'does X well'). Stacks with person: mabunurutina 'I have no luck'. m- + root + -gubeiyanu/-gubeiyadiwa = negative perfect 'never'. (Magarada §3, §9; Munro & Gallagher negatives (m-/ma-)) [FULL-AUTHOR-GRANT]

Why — Attributive possession by possessive prefixes with an inalienable/alienable split; non-possessive marking; relational classifiers (3 types); suppletive/non-possessable nouns; predicative possession via denominal possessive predicate (ga-/ma- pair) and comitative 'exist with' (úma) — the exact structures behind MAG:GA_MA and Munro's gáma/máma and the Director's úwati possession teaching.
