Is the possessive morpheme -s in D in St’át’imcets? Say why or why not, referring to the
data in (5)-(6) and possibly some data from above if you need it. (Tip: don’t focus on the fact
that -s is a suffix and appears after the noun. That could be taken care of by morphology.)
(5) Áts’x-en=lhkan ta tsítcw-s=a.
see-tr=1sg.su det house-3poss=exis
‘I saw his/her/their house.’
(6) * Áts’x-en=lhkan tsitcw-s.
see-tr=1sg.su house-3poss
Intended: ‘I saw his/her/their house.’
