This dataset contains elicited possessive and verbal/adjectival subject-marking paradigms from the Tepin dialect of Salawati with Barnabus Sawoy (born 1950), a native speaker of Tepin Salawati. The possessed nouns in the possessive paradigms are 'grandchild', 'tooth', 'head', 'fish', and 'canoe' (corresponding to pages 11-12 of the Fieldnotes); the subject-marking paradigms correspond to pages 13-15 of the Fieldnotes. The session was recorded on 16 March 2023, in Solol village (Salawati island, Raja Ampat regency, Southwest Papua province, Indonesia). This dataset relates to the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship 'Synchronic and diachronic investigations in Raja Ampat-South Halmahera, a little-known subbranch of Austronesian' (PF19\100004); additional fieldwork funds were provided by a Moray Endowment Fund from the University of Edinburgh.
