[Proto-Dravidian had a class of kinship nouns which occurred only in the possessed construction (inalienably possessed) ; this probably was a syntactic rather than a morphological construction. The personal and reflexive pronouns which occurred as attributes in this construction were only the plural ones; distinction of number in the possessor was not indicated, and could be gathered only from the context. The evidence is drawn from Old Tamil, Kota, Gondi, Kolami, Kuwi, and Kuru kh .]
