Aluric does a relatively standard genitive case, although the case itself
is more accurately described as a combination locative/genitive =
(instative?
"my=E1nsva" in Aluric at any rate, from "my=E1" a root meaning "where").

So possession is also considered to have a locative quality at some level.
