In Surgut Khanty, the base form of the personal pronouns is used next to a pronominal possessor, but it can also be dropped (since Surgut Khanty is a pro-drop language). The possessed entity is marked with a suffix that reflects the person and number of the possessor (1), preceded by dual or plural marker, if necessary (2).
