possessive
Can you provide some examples of what you mean?
You can do something like { IF { REF somecondition } = "Y" "base form" "possesive form" } e.g. { IF { REF somecondition } = "Y" "dog" "dog's" } but you would need to do that for every word, or know all the necessary rule to do e.g. if it isn't "it", "he", "she", "we" and so on then if it's a singular noun not ending in s then use noun's...and so on... and that's assuming we're talking about modern English...

Did you intend to write something? If so, it seems to have disappeared.
