Sometimes you want to say something belongs to something else. You turn a noun into a possessive noun to do so. If we have someone named ''[[Contionary: klaid#Brooding|Klaid]]'' (Clyde in English), we make it a possessive by inserting an ‹l› after the last vowel. ''[[Contionary: Klaid#Brooding|Klaid]]'' becomes ''[[Contionary: Klaild#Brooding|Klaild]]''. So ‘Cylde’s tree’ is translated as ''[[Contionary: geeth#Brooding|geeth]] [[Contionary: Klaild#Brooding|Klaild]]''. | Sometimes you want to say something belongs to something else.
