の (pronounced "no")

It is important to explicitly note that "no" in Japanese works in the reverse order from "of" in English.

In English, you would say "box OF secrets." In Japanese you say "himitsu NO hako;" "secrets NO box." In manner of order, it acts more like an English possessive apostrophe S than English "of." i.e., "secrets' box."
