==Possesional==
Possessional can be divided into two forms, Verbal and Nounal.

In the verbal form a verb is used, english "I have a dog".

In the nounal form only nouns are used, english "Stevens dog"

And within the umbrean language there are 2 constructions for both of them.

===Alienable===
Alienable possession describes a possession where the ownership of the item in question can be severed, a book that you purchased can be sold on. It typicly applies to items that can change ownership or things with little emotional value.

'''Nounal'''

The nounal form involves using the construct state of the possessed item while the possessor remains the same and both having the correct case. The order of the two can shift depending on preference of the speaker or which item is deemed most important.

'''Verbal'''

The verbal possession form utilizes the predicate structure of the postposition '''''Ëŋŋ''''', meaning "To be at" when postpositional is used, which here is utilizing the postposition as a verb instantly. A way to look at it is that one says "The book '''''is located at''''' me" to say "I have a book"

===Inalienable===
Inalienable possession describese a possession that cannot be severed or changed, the arm is always yours, your father is always your father no matter what. But it applies to personal things aswell such as creations made by you, they will always having been done by you, or items you have had for a very long time of emotional value.

'''Nounal'''

While alienable uses a special construct state of the possessed an inalienable possession does not, here both nouns are in either indefinate or definate state depending on the situation, while context can tell what possesses what in situation where it is ambigious the possessed comes first and possessor after, otherwise order is free.

'''Verbal'''

The verbal structure uses the existence verb '''''tswümj''''' in its transitive form where it means "Subject exists because of Object" or "Subject exists for me". The subject placement is the possessed and object is the possessor

==Emotional==
While english expresses feelings through verbs like "I love him" "I fear that he is gone" and so on umbrean does not, emotions are nouns and they use the verb "Siis", which means "'''Subject''' feels '''emotion''' for '''object'''" With the bold ones replaced, and is a ditransitive verb. General construction is
