Q. auvië n. “possession (abstract), *the act of possessing” (Category: to Own, Possess)
An abstract noun glossed “possession” derived from √AW in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969 (PE22/151). It was contrasted with aura “a possession or thing owned”, so presumably auvie meant something like “possession = the act or state of possessing”.
