Betydning
Possession shows who or what someone or something belongs to or is closely connected with. It can link an object to its owner, a child to a parent, or a book to its writer. Languages use endings, separate words, or word order, and some have no possession endings. Part and whole focuses on pieces or members of something, while Possession also covers ownership and other close connections.

Look for a link that identifies whose something is or who it is closely connected with, even when no one owns it.
