0 the form of a noun, pronoun, etc. in the grammar of some languages that shows that the noun, pronoun, etc. has or owns something
Some places in the Bible the Greek is genitive plural and Sabbath has been translated in the singular.
These are usually remnants of cases, in this instance, the genitive case which is still used in German.
genitive constructions in noun phrases, such as the man's dog
Such adnominal genitives had the determinative function and tended to be preposed.
Therefore, a noun phrase containing its head noun plus a postnominal genitive nominal in fact consisted of two noun phrases.
These determiner genitives easily vary with corresponding noun modifiers in contexts where the whole construction is definite and specific.
A genitive nominal, on the other hand, signals that the designated thing is not there as a participant of the event in question.
But it is only by rejecting the possibly left-dislocated examples that we can tell a coherent story about agreement of the separated genitive.
