Function: Part-of-Speech; end-of-Contraction, uncommon, *implies the possesive as it replaces the word 'Own.' Usage effects a hick, rural flavor to speech, best if used sparingly, may convey a sense of appreciation for archaic or pseudoarchaic formulations in English.
Usage: can be used sans apostrophe in conjunction with 'e' following a vowel, where confusion is unlikely.
