Dr. Conrad:

In the archives I've noticed your concern with the
proliferation of Genitives that grammarians tend to
invent or create. Based on your reply to this
question, I was wondering what RESTRAINTS you could
offer us such that we will not continue the
proliferation of Genitives, even though your reply
says:

> how the two elements in that phrase are intended to
> be understood in
> relationship to each other must be derived
> altogether from the context or
> guessed at.

This seems to me to run the danger of an ongoing
creation of more and more categories as more and more
translators/commentators "discover" additional
relationships. How can we keep the number of Genitives
to a workable size?
