# only in plurals
and some nouns that end in s (but this varies depending on who you ask)

# clarification
if say something was mine, it would be unicorn's
if it belonged to priestess, say (first name i could think of ending in s) it would be priestess's
if it was all of ours, it would be the b3tans'
if it was one of ours, it would be the b3tan's
