PossPerson: possessor’s person

PossPerson is possessor’s person, marked e.g. on Hungarian nouns. These noun forms would be translated to English as possessive pronoun + noun.

Note that there is currently a sort of inconsitency in Interset: since this feature was introduced, it would be logical to use it also for possessive pronouns in other languages. Yet the possessor’s person of these pronouns is traditionally captured in the “Person” feature. Also note that using PossPerson for possessive pronouns might introduce inconsistency at the other end because in some languages, possessive pronouns are actually identical to personal pronouns in the genitive case.
