=== Possession === Possession in Muscogee is expressed in two quite different ways, depending on the nature of the relationship. A body part or family member cannot be named in Muscogee without relating it to a possessor. A set of prefixes is used in this type of relation to show the person and number of the possessor.<ref name=":1" /> {| class="wikitable" |+Relational possession |cv- |'''cv'''puse |/ca-p贸si/ |my grandmother |- |ce- |'''ce'''puse |/ci-p贸si/ |your grandmother |- |e- |'''e'''puse |/i-p贸si/ |his/her grandmother |- |pu- |'''pu'''puse |/po-p贸si/ |our grandmother |} Nouns other than body parts and kinship terms are generally possessed with a different set of markers. {| class="wikitable" |+Nonrelational possession |vm |'''vm''' efv |/am-铆fa/ |my dog |- |cem |'''cem''' efv |/cim-铆fa/ |your dog |- |em |'''em''' efv |/im-铆fa/ |his/her dog |- |pum |'''pum''' efv |/pom-铆fa/ |our dog |}
