And what's wrong with that? My lang Thagojian marks the cases of the participating nouns on the verb (if that's the same kinda dealy?), and indeed marks possessed nouns for the possessor instead of marking possessors as "possessing something". i.e. ball me john give-(with.it)-(to.me)-(he) for john gives the ball to me and ball-(of.me)-(it) instead of me-(of) ball-(it)
