Comment:
Here the 3SG non-subject pronoun en, coreferential with the possessor, appears between possessor and possessum. This construction occurs only rarely in the 18th-century sources; it is also attested for later stages of Sranan however. Even though we find no cases with the 3PL pronoun, we assume it may have been possible.
