  Comment: Noun possessor order is always mediated by a preposition in the modern language. Old occitan had construction like : la tèrra En Guilhem "the land (of) Lord William" where "En Guilhem" is in the objective case. In the present day this syntax only remains in fossilized forms as toponyms: Ròcamador "the stone (of Saint) Amador" etc.
