Okay. It's an idea, not having possessive adjectives. Certainly easier than
my Synthetica which has about 4 classes depending on whether the 'my' is for
true legal possession, for control without possession, for locational
attribution without control or possession or just for 'in the style of'.
By this token 'my car' is type 1. if you own it, type 2. if you're leasing
it, type 3 if you're the passenger only, (I'm waiting for my taxi to arrive)
and type 4 if you say 'my dream car would be a Jensen Interceptor'.

Glad to be of service.

Incest is definitely out then.
