Maori Unpacked, 44, Personals and Possessives

44

Personals and Possessives

We could unpack personals and possessives
taa taaua kai, our (two people) food (singular- one item of food)
aa taaua kai, our (two people) food (plural)
too taaua whenua, our (two people) land
oo taaua whenua, our (two people) lands

So our Box might be between the Personal Box and the Possessive Box.

A Mind Map might show dominance and subordinance, singular and plural.
.
A Poster on the wall could use arrows to show relationships.
