>Aha! So a conlang urgently needs a syntactical difference between
>genitive and possessive.
google for material on the conlang "Laadan" by Suzette Elgin - it has
several types of posessives. I know that some natlangs do too.

Posession alone can be a huge topic. Months ago, Suzette Elgin and I spent
days trying to research and explain to a neophite the place of the false
posessive within the whole context of posession . I ended up feeling that
actually posession - e.g. "my book" - was little more than a minor subset of
a much larger and also mystifying set of inter-item relationships.
