You turn a noun into a possessive noun to do so. If we have someone named ''Klaid'' (Clyde in English), we make it a possessive by inserting an ‹l› after the last vowel. ''klaid'' becomes ''klaild''. So ‘Cylde’s tree’ is translated as ''geeth klaild''. | ||
If the noun you want to turn into a possessive has a final consonant of ‹l› or ‹r›, you'll have to add ''li'' for all forms that end in ‹l›, and for the singular form that ends in ‹r›. E.g. ''nool'' ‘world’ → ''noolil'' ‘world’s’, ''dar'' ‘crowd’ → ''dalir'' ‘crowd’s’. | |||
