Okay, I'm reasonably satisfied.  My concept of "possessive" apparently
matches the definition of the linguistic "GENITIVE".  I don't see a problem
with labeling "the strategy of the team" or "Tellun's star system"
possessive, but when a true language-scientist tells me it's really
GENITIVE-non-possessive I honorably yield.
