possessive form?[edit]

What's its possessive form? --Backinstadiums (talk) 21:10, 17 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

I would have thought you'd add an apostrophe: "you-uns'". Not easy to search for that. I just found this in GBooks though: 1902, Susan M. Griffith, Hazel Gray, Or, One Little Lamp (page 121): "Know you-uns's friends an' take advantage of 'em". Equinox 21:14, 17 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
After searching for "you-uns'(s)" + various possessable objects, I eventually found one which got some hits — for both forms: Citations:you-uns. - -sche (discuss) 22:26, 17 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
