Posessor nouns and pronouns generally take the genetive case; Gevey can also use conjunctions to form more complex posessive noun phrases:
ʒæ.blæ.kæ χep məʊ.me.tɒ ten
xablaka qjep moemeto ten
xablaka qjep moemeto te-n
portrait of grandmother my-GEN
My grandmother's portrait
Most possessive noun-phrases are dependent-marking (marking the possessor), using what is essentially a possessive clitic. However, there are two suffixes which allow for head-marking; these are possessive suffixes for the 1st and 2nd person singular, and only occur when the head is inalienably possessed.
