Body-part adpositions in Gaahmg--Grammaticalized forms with person-marker vowels

Many African languages employ body parts as adpositions (Heine 1989), the general pattern in Gaahmg, with one locative postposition perhaps derived from ‘vagina’. In addition, Gaahmg has locative postpositions and locative pronouns that include a person-marker vowel: a, ə = 1st person; ɔ, u = 2nd pe...
