In Te Reo Māori possessive grammar, why does 'book' take the 'A' category ('tāku pukapuka') whereas 'house' takes the 'O' category ('tōku whare')?

Books are moveable items, while houses are always built of timber. A-category is used for items created, acquired, or controlled by the owner; O-category is used for shelter, land, transport, and feelings. A-category is used only for living things, while O-category is used for inanimate objects. O-category is used exclusively for items starting with a consonant.

Correct Answer:

A-category is used for items created, acquired, or controlled by the owner; O-category is used for shelter, land, transport, and feelings.
