Irish possessive construction with cuid ‘part’

Bayda V. V. Irlandskaya posessivnaya konstruktsiya s cuid ‘chast’. Acta Linguistica Petropolitana. 865.
In Irish the noun cuid ‘part’ is often used in the possessive pronoun construction where the possessum is the referent of a mass or plural noun, e. g. mo chuid eolais ‘my knowledge’, lit. ‘my part of knowledge’ and mo chuid leabhar ‘my books’, lit. ‘my part of books’. The article argues that the construction is formally a pseudopartitive construction with the element cuid explicating the meaning of the amount of the possessum.
