RELATIVE'S NAMES

The enclitic possessive adjective -te [it. ytuo, tua, tuoi, tue] unites it to relative's names (màmmete, pàdrete , ziànete, nepótete, nepùtete, nòrete, sòrete, fràtete, suòcerete, sòcerete, cajenàtete, jènnerete) realizing so a peculiar enclitic form of Center-South dialects.
    In this way we realize also the forms of 1ª person uniting the enclitic possessive adjective -me [it. mio, mia, miei, mie] to the relative's names (pàdreme , ziàneme, nepóteme, nepùteme, nòreme, sòreme, fràteme, suòcereme, sòcereme, cajenàteme, jènnereme). 
The names adding the syllable -te or -me become proparoxyton's.

Ex.: 'u cumbâre mi, 'u cumbâre to, 'i cumbâre to, 'a chemmâre mî, 'u gnorapàtele to, 'u patelélle mî, etc. The possessive adjective is, however, always sets after the nouns.

They exist some particular relative's names that they add a possessive pronoun of 2ª or 3ª sing. pers. (to, toje, so, soje) and rather than to develop its grammatical function and to specify its exact meaning, implies a pronoun of 1ª sing. pers. (mî or mije) refered to the reverse correspondent degree of kindred (mother-son, father-son, uncle-nephew, etc...).. Ex.:

We address us to our child or nephew specifying our own quality of parent, grandfather or uncle. A tone this that shows a sense of greater affection and it founds a stronger bond, because the most greater affective charge is inextricably tied to the primordial names of mamme, papà, nonnò and zizì (and not fijje or nepóte). It is not well clear instead the sense of the possessive pronoun so or soje that it gives an impersonality to the affective bond.
