The "of" form of possession is allowed in Anglish because many times it is more natural for row - column cell names. Thus while "number of ties" and "ties's number" select the same cell, the former "sounds" better. In contract consider "Joe's car" and "car of Joe." Here the "'s" seems better. Anglish accepts both forms of possessive interchangeably. Possessives can be used with table names too - "Sale 1's total cost."

They may be used in possessive constructions also.
