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