N1 の N2 (N1 no N2) — N1's N2 / N2 of N1
の links possession and relationship.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
の links two nouns to show possession or relationship — like Nepali 'को/की/का' or English 's. The order is always owner → thing: 私の本 = my book (本の私 is wrong). Beyond possession it also shows type or relation: 日本語の本 = a Japanese(-language) book.
