• Elen Síla Lúmenn' Omentielvo; Genitiv and Possessiv?

  6 years ago

  Both the pronominal possessive endings '-nya'/'-lva'/'-lma'/etc and the possessive suffixes '-va'/'-ve' can define the possessive case. The pronominal possessive suffixes are used when there's a pronoun modifying the noun in the possessive phrase ("our meeting" - "omentielva"; "my house" - "coanya"). The suffixes '-va/-vë' are used when there's a noun modifying another noun in the possessive phrase ("róma Oroméva" - "Oromë's horn"; "rocco i vendeva" - "the girl's horse").

  The "-o" is necessary because it is the genitive suffix. With it the possessive "our meeting" ("omentielva") becomes "of our meeting".
