The possessive singular of all English nouns, regardless of spelling, is formed by the addition of -'s: house/house's; Peter/ Peter's. In the case of singulars already ending in -s, like boss or Dallas, the possessive adds a syllable: boss/boss's; Dallas/Dallas's. Plurals not ending in -s are made possessive in the same way: men/men's; data/data's.
The possessive of plural nouns ending in -s is formed by the addition of the apostrophe alone: houses/ houses' ; Joneses/ Joneses' . It does not add a syllable.
