An alienable adpossessive construction is a construction that occurs when the possessed noun is an alienable noun and that contrasts with another adpossessive construction that can only be used with inalienable nouns.
alienable possession (CXN) = a possessive modification construction that always includes the ownership relation, and contrasts in the language with an inalienable possession con- struction. Example: Crow bas-oìosshee ‘my food’ is an instance of alienable possession, using the distinct index bas- (cf. the inalienable index b-). (Section 4.1.4)
