Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Old Polish -ów, from Proto-Slavic *-ovъ; doublet of -owy. Archaic noun ending used to create possessive forms, equivalent to English 's or of. For instance, Bolków literally means "Bolko's" or "of Bolko". Cognate with Russian -ов (-ov), Ukrainian -ів (-iv), Belarusian -аў (-aŭ) (unstressed)/-оў (-oŭ) (stressed). In modern Polish, the same ending is used for genitive plurals of masculine nouns. Compare Czech -ův.
