Is this correct halachically?  Is ownership of an eved considered a kinyan
haguf or kinyan peiros?  I believe that at least for an eved k'naani, it
is considered a kinyan haguf.

(Toby's point remains unchanged, that despite the particular technical
halachic categorization, the owner essentially only has the right to the
eved's work, not to do anything with him at all.)
