UZBEK
SUMMARY
In Uzbek, the converb in -(V)p heads non-finite syntactically subordinate clauses and generally requires its subject to corefer with the subject of the superordinate clause, i.e. it is a same-subject converb (SS-converbs). Part-whole relations between the subject of the converbial clause and the subject of the superordinate clause also license also license the converb in -(V)p. Possession is overtly coded on the possessed subject.
