If I remember correctly, Turkish does something similar except that both the
posessor and posessed change. The structure is something like:
- woman's dog-her -
My Bes Dis'z has
- pes pil's -
- a Pes book-belonging-to -

>written |eudft|, but this time still pronounced [Ue]? ;)))) )
You win. My brain hurts. :-)
