Sentences with more than one possessive
Sentences with two possessives — a, o
Sentences can contain multiple possessive relationships. Each possessive reflects the category of the item it relates to. For example, in te whare o tāku tama, the o relates to house (an o-category item) while tāku relates to son (an a-category relationship). Complex phrases simply chain these relationships to show who or what belongs to whom.
