Ăn Yidiș lost the genitive case except in fossilized expressions. Possession is indicated by the construction ''ăn X ag Y'' (lit. the X at Y) when Y is a noun. For example, אַן קאַט אַגּ מאָ־מֿאַק ''ăn cat ag mă-mhac'' = my son's cat. Concatenation exists but is more derivational, analogous to compounding in English. | |||
