cop:own: copula for posessive clauses

In Finnish, there is no equivalent for the verb have. Rather, having is expressed using the verb olla (to be). For instance, the meaning of the sentence I have a pen would be expressed in Finnish by Minulla on kynä, literally “At me is a pen”. These possessive clauses are analyzed as a subtype to copula clauses, making the owner (minulla, at me in the previous example) the head, while the copula verb is marked with relation cop:own distinguising possessive clauses from typical copula clauses (Minä olen ihminen, I am a human) as well as existential clauses (Pihalla on auto, There is a car in the yard).
