Comment: "Subject and object pronouns may be immediately attached to the verb stem. In that case, they are considered clitics, since the are syntactically independent morphemes, phonologically bound to the verb stem." p190 "...the initial I-, which is present in the citation form, is deleted in context." p194 The pronouns are written, as found on p192. A distinction is made between alienable and inalienable possession, where inalienable possession is marked by possessive pronominal suffixes, and alienable possession is marked by free pronouns, as found on p205 and 206.
