|There are a number of ways in which possession is marked in Ewe. Where a possessive pronoun is used, the possessed noun is juxtaposed to the pronoun. For the first person pronoun, the possessed precedes the possessive pronoun. However, if a any noun other than a possessive pronoun is used, the possessive marker, ƒe, occurs after the possessor and before the possessed noun.Also, whenever the possessed noun is a kingship term, the possessive marker, ƒe, is omitted. Here, the two nouns are juxtaposed to each other.
