A genitive noun phrase may follow the noun it modifies when occurring in the unmarked case, i.e. within stylistically unmarked contexts and when no focus is placed on any particular constituent. See Dryer (2008). 

<br><br>An example comes from Icelandic (Sigurðsson 2006). 

<br><br><i>Bók kennar-ans</i>
<br>Book teacher-DEF.GEN
<br>'The teacher's book'

<br><br><b>English:</b> The English setting for this property is 'No'. While genitive nouns may follow nouns they modify, this must be mediated by the preposition <i>of</i>, as in <i>the book of John's</i>.
