Possessive marks the *owner*. I believe that the Semitic languages have a construction wherein the POSSESSED noun is marked. It's called the Construct State, IIRC -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'. Everyone's just a big dork or nerd, you just have to find people who are dorky the same way you are." - overheard ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
