I didn't have in mind any specific forms, to be sincere, and speculated
along the following lines: first, locatival *-io- is generalized as a marker
of appurtenance, then its locatival origin (along with locatival semantic
connotations) is forgotten and it ends up (in BSl.) just as an
adjectives-formig suffix.

So, if I understand correctly, you do accept their de-locatival origin (more
precisely, de-locatival origin of the suffix *-ina-) ? Or have I
misunderstood something?
