ABSTRACT

17.1. We shall here deal with the phenomenon that the genitive ending is added to a whole group of words instead of to the word that might, perhaps, logically be expected to be in the genitive case, as in “the King of England's power”, “somebody else's hat”, cf Progr § 216 ff. = ChE 114 ff., where the whole subject is discussed at greater length and supplementary quotations may be found.
