Cyborg Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I think that, when you write Lord of Water, it's like saying Water's Lord.The boss of me = My boss.The cord of the computer = The computer's cord.Perhaps it is a way of putting variation into your language by replacing genitive.

Spectral Paladin Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Yes they are essentially the same but they are used in different situations. I think 's is used for persons and of for objects or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I thought perhaps epithet, but I don't think that's what you're asking. Dominion, Domain, Sphere, or some weird technical phrase like cratic genitive (yes, I made that up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
