The Glyphica Arcana has no inflection for possession. Instead,
possession is shown through subordinate phrases ("of . . ."). My
current problem is defining the types of possession used by the
GA. (Though I haven't checked the archives yet, I will be doing
that soon.)
Now, "hand of mine," "house of mine," and "wife of mine" are all
going to be different possessives. What should I call them and
what other forms of possession should I define? The GA can also
define more specific forms of possession which fit inside the
lexical space of less specific forms, so the field for
definitions is currently wide open.
