'<i>Hans</i>' and '<i>huns</i>' are the only two pronouns that do not undergo the 'tt' change when possessing a neuter noun.  They are also used instead of '<i>sinn</i>
 
<i>'Sinn'</i> is used for the first kind of possession, and <i>hans/huns</i> is used for the second. 
 
When a proper noun is possessing something, the suffixes '-s', or '-es' are used'-s' is suffixed onto proper nouns, such as names and places, and '-es' is suffixed onto regular nouns.  If the noun is definite, the genitive suffix comes after the enclitic article. This happens in both types of possession:
 
*<i>Alslands fylger/Flygen alslands</i> - Alslands women/the women of Alsland
*<i>Kattenes ball/Ballet kattenes</i> - The cat's ball/The ball of the cat
