Description:		This paper argues that the cross referencing strategy used in possessive constructions to cross reference the possessor on the bound noun head or possessive classifier is a construct suffix as it does not agree in the person, number or animacy feature of the possessor noun phrase. The construct suffix is not solely a genitive marking strategy but has developed to mark prepositional and verbal objects. I will look at the diachronic development of the construct suffix and show the construct suffix spread out of possessive constructions and moved in to verbal and prepositional constructions due to a gap in the object marking strategies left by the loss of verbal object marking.
