Abstract
<p>Abstract:</p><p>Languages of the Uto-Aztecan family are notable for typically having multiple ways to indicate predicative possession, as well as for having a variety of mechanisms for deriving verbs from nouns (i.e., creating denominal verbs). Five morphemes can be reconstructed for Proto—Uto-Aztecan that gave rise to specific denominal verb-creating affixes (most usually, suffixes) that mark predicative possession across the family. The reconstructed suffixes are *-<i>ka</i> 'have (alienable)', *-<i>pV</i> 'have (inalienable)', *-<i>ɨ</i>, a postposition (most likely a locative), *-<i>tu</i> 'active possession' ('get', 'acquire'), and *-<i>wa</i>, a marker of attributive possession ('possessed thing').</p>
