        "Possessive" and "possessed"?

        Actually, I kinda like the sound of a "possessed" case.... ;-)

        I thought there was a complimentary name to "genitive".
        ("genitive" = "owner" as "???" = "owned")

        I would prefer a different name, since the two are usually in
complimentary distribution. You don't make family members possessed (he he
he), and you don't flaunt ownership (or assume it's entitled or permanent)
with objects.
