His genitive
text:
The his genitive is a means of forming a genitive construction by linking two nouns with a possessive pronoun such as "his". This construction enjoyed only a brief heyday in English in the late 16th century and the 17th century, but is common in some varieties of a number of Germanic languages, and standard in Afrikaans.
