AdpPNonPM & AdpPPM

AdpPNonPM: Person marking cannot be expressed on adpositions.

AdpPPM: Person marking is required on non-personal pronominal adpositions.

(1)vyl-am
above1SG
’above me / on me / onto me’ (Csúcs 1990: 57)

(2)kinvylyn?
whoabove
’Above who? / On who?’ (Y. S.)

(3)asvyl-ad
selfabove2SG
’on yourself / onto yourself’ (Csúcs 1990: 46)

In Udmurt some of the postpositions can have person marking (1). Such postpositions bear no person marking when combining with non-personal pronouns (2), with the exception of the reflexive pronominal as ’self’’, where person marking is indicated on the postposition (3) (Perevoshchikov et al. 1962: 316; Csúcs 1990: 57).
