At first sight, this 's' suffix is equivalent to French 'chez' (the place someone lives or runs a business, though 'chez' can also mean, in addition, a group of persons -- Kennedy, rich, children, or living things -- mammals). In French it's not a mark of possession, it rather denotes the location or membership. | |
