Mosetén and Chimane (Tsimane'), are very close language varieties spoken in Bolivia. According to Sakel (2004), they constitute a family of languages of which they are the only representatives, or else they constitute a continuum of varieties. The present paper deals with possessive noun phrases in these two languages, particularly the linking or subordinating element which marks this possessive relation. Following the terminology in Tesnière (1966), I name this element a translative. What is especially interesting in this construction is the fact that the translative which marks possession is an inflecting element. This paper is part of a broader research about this construction in languages from all continents with strong areal diffusion among Indo-Aryan languages, partial diffusion among Iranian languages, as well as in the greater part of sub-Saharan Africa, besides a small number of representatives in the other continents: Europe, Oceania and America. The purpose of the paper is characterizing this construction found in Mosetén and Chimane as part of a specific type of adnominal possession found in all continents which as yet has not properly delimited as a type or subtype of possessive NP construction
