As possessor

Possessors may not be relativized.

The following example shows that possessors may not be relativized:

1
a. *Auteurs om har boeken te keapjen
authors for her books to buy
Authors to buy their books
b. *Auteurs om boeken te keapjen
authors for books to buy
Authors to buy books

This may be related to the fact that possessors require that the containing Noun Phrase (NP) occurs at the beginning of the relative clause:

2
Auteurs dy har boeken as ik kocht
writers who their books COMP I bought
Authors whose books I bought
