Plural possessive of lasso

Answer 1

Lasso (Spanish origin) is a noun meaning a 'rope with a noose at one end, used for catching cattle'. The plural is 'lassos', formed by adding an s to the singular form. The genitive (possessive) case is made by adding an s to the singular form of the noun, e.g. the doctor's surgery. With most plural nouns, like lasoos, an s ending is already present, so the the genitive case (whose main meaning is possession) adds a following apostrophe rather than another s. So, a typical use of the plural possessive of lasso would be "the lasoos' knots were defective". Hope that helps.
