What is the basic meaning of this -nya morpheme? I used to own TY
Indonesian, but it's gone AWOL. I ask coz it is awfully similar to the
Quenya pronominal stems, which generally feature _Cye_, or _-Cya-_ as
possessive suffixes (which go between the stem and the case endings, as in
Hungarian. I ask because I'm into the various natlang inspirations JRRT
may have had. Is it possible that he had partially Javanese inspiration here?
