This construction allows relative readings (see Hallman 2021), which can be explained if construct states instantiate (at least sometimes) a SpecDP + null D configuration. Interestingly, Syrian Arabic also allows an 'analytic' superlative in which only the EST head, identical to the word most, occurs in DP-initial position, see (37)b.…”
