EUROPEAN PARTITIVES IN COMPARISON
Similar systems of marking canonical partitives on quantifiers using possessive
suffixes can be found throughout the Uralic family (except the Finno-Saamic
branch) and are well-known also in the Turkic languages.”!
In the Kazakh examples of (8) from Koshkin,” for instance, possessive affixes
attach to the quantifiers, as in ‘one of them’, or ‘one of my friends’, we see the
possessive marker. Also, in ‘which of them’, ‘any of them’, and ‘most of them’
we see the same pattern in proper partitive formation. The present paper uses
an online Cyrillic to Latin transliteration in providing the Latin transliteration
to the original Cyrillic examples.”
