"Mark E. Shoulson" <shoulson@CTR.COLUMBIA.EDU> asks how much you can
cram into the "possessive" slot in a descriptive sumti.  Plenty!  In

See sumti-tail<113> in the recently posted BNF grammar.  Of course
such a big possessive sumti is not held up as an example of good style;
only pronouns are beautiful here.
