The possessive dative construction in (35), on the other hand, is the counterpart of the HAVE-type possessive construction, yielding the patterns in (37): Possessors (37) a. DPi BE DAT b. DPi 19 DPj NOM HAVE NOM DPj ACC The nominative, used by the possessed DPj in the BE-pattern, is used to license the possessor in the HAVE-pattern. In either case, an additional case is required: in the BE-pattern this is the dative, assigned to the possessor, in the HAVE-pattern this is the accusative, borne by the possessed.
