köken: Originally a compound of Old Japanese elements こ (ko, “this”, pronoun) + の (no, possessive, modifies following noun). こ as a pronoun is no longer used individually in modern Japanese.

Possessive (and genitive) suffix: · …-'s, of … (third-person singular, single possession) · …-s’, of …-s (third-person plural, single possession)

In most Germanic languages, it is an inflected adjective, but in modern Danish (and Norwegian), it is uninflected. In archaizing poetry, one may meet the possessive jer (jert, jere), which is probably reintroduced analogically…
