Overview

Judean: Possessive pronouns affix to the free morpheme or root word as a suffix.

English: Possessive pronouns are a separate word that comes before the noun.

READING GOAL:
To recognize possessive suffixes attached to nouns.

The Rule

English: Pronoun + Noun (my father) = 2 separate words, read left to right

Judean: Noun + Pronoun (ืื‘ื™) = 1 word with two meanings, read right to left

  • Suffix affixes directly to the noun
  • No space between noun and possessive
  • Literal Translation: "father-my" not "my father"
