Frapeyä, Fìpeyä, Tsapeyä, Lapeyä, 'Awpeyä Confirmed

Posted by Deleted User on 7/6/2023

I don't know if it was already confirmed and I don't repeat something already well-known, but I thought better to ask Karyu Pawl if genitive of frapo is indeed frapeyä, as well as other -po pronouns.

I hope it's all good there. I had several questions about language which I couldn't find help with in any other place, but this one recently came to my mind again. It's whether the genitive form of frapo is *frapeyä or *frapoä? And of all other -po pronouns, if to say so. I've heard an opinion that all -po pronouns do the same thing as po, being -peyä in the genitive but I was unable to find any confirmation of this. In my opinion, *frapeyä sounds natural, yet it would be great to know that it is the case, if possible.
All -po pronouns for a quick reference: 'awpo, fìpo, frapo, lapo, tsapo.

All the best,
Tan Jala

You're right—all -po pronouns follow the pattern for po itself. So the genitive of frapo is indeed frapeyä.
