Comment:
Possessive constructions in which the possessor takes a comitative marker (ku) or comitative/locative (jũt də X) marker - as is the case in this sentence - indicate temporary possession in Diu Indo-Portuguese. A similar construction involving locative marking on the possessor is found in several South Asian languages.
