Datapoint Cape Verdean Creole of Santiago/Marking of possessor noun phrases
The order is always possessum-possessor. Simple juxtaposition is always possible, but the preposition di may also be used. The linking element -l may appear instead of the preposition di, but only if the first (possessum) noun phrase ends with a vowel and the second (possessor) noun phrase begins with a consonant. However, these phonotactic conditions do normally prevail. Note that -l may only appear instead of di in possessor noun phrases and after heavy prepositions (dentu-l kása 'in the house').
