====Agreement====
''sin (, si, sitt, sine)'' (determiner, possessive) is the reflexive possessive in Norwegian (both Bokmål and Nynorsk). It inflects in gender and number, although gender is oblique in plural.<br>
Norwegian nouns have an inherent gender: feminine, masculine or neuter. They do not inflect in gender -- they have a static one that does not change. 

<Phrase>41614</Phrase>
This sentence has an auxiliary and a main verb. In between them is an adverbial phrase.<br>
In the provided example, there are two occurrences of ''sin''. Although they both look identical, they have different controllers. 

The first occurence, «''hunden hadde i sin''», the controller is the noun ''hunden''. It has the inherent feature NMASC, and it is singular definite. Gender and number is reflected in the possessive, where ''sin'' is the masculine singular. This is arguably a case of agreement, where the controller is the noun ''hunden'', the target is ''sin'', and the features are gender and number. <br>
(the workings of the domains of anaphors to me feels a bit complicated).

The second occurence, «''(...) forveksla refleksjonen sin''», the controller is the noun ''refleksjonen''. The agreement features are still gender and number. <br>
An example to illustrate that it is in fact not ''hunden'' that is the controller, could be «''(...) forveksla boka si''». ''Boka'' (book) is a feminine noun, which is reflected in the inflection of the possessive.
