#59: Everything in the o category

Everything in the o category — o
A practical way to remember o-category possessives is to group them into ten areas: body and personal attributes, water and medicine, home and land, thoughts and feelings, parents and older generations, transport, friends or partners, superiors or authorities, parts of things, and places of belonging such as one’s mountain, river, iwi, or whenua. Everything else generally takes the a-category.
