Show transcript
The SSC [om] is the same sound as [on], like in 'non' and 'nom'. When this sound appears in front of the letters -p or -b, it is spelled with [om] instead of [on]. To say 'his', 'her' we use the possessive adjectives 'son' (masculine) 'sa' (feminine) or 'ses' (plural). Possessive adjectives agree with the noun that follows so we often need context to identify the 'possessor'. 'Son', 'sa' 'ses' can also mean 'your' or 'their' when talking about things belonging to people in general.
