The predominant use of the genitive today is not syntactical, but merely as a derivational element forming nominal compounds. Its use in marking possession has been completely taken by the particle ''twe'', which declines according to the gender of the possessed noun: ''twe'' is the masculine singular form; ''twā'' the feminine singular; ''tō'' the neuter singular; ''twī'' masculine and feminine plural and ''tā'' neuter plural. | |||
