genitive anaphors

Rick,
In LS 17.0 it says:

>An anaphor can not undergo further derivation by adding prefixes or suffixes. Thus, if we need to create a genitive anaphoric noun, we must use "te", as in the following example:
    A: Kobyo (= the teacher) sent me to get the reports.
    B: Rehi te Bill are here and rehi koho are over there.
In the above, "rehi" is an appropriate anaphor of "reports".

A genitive anaphor is an anaphor ending in the adjectival ending "-o", e.g., 'koho' above.  What is a 'genitive anaphoric noun'?  How is 'rehi te Bill' an example of it?
