I'm assuming that Feebs' emboldened expression suggests that the OP's title is a misnomer. At first, I took it as "duel possession," which would suggest shared ownership. But none of the examples fit.

Is "dual possessives" standard nomenclature?

- A.

Thanks Feebs11! And yes, I meant dual possessives. I'm trained as a software engineer so my grammar is lacking. It looks like this forum is a good spot to get help. Thanks again.
