Remove Genitive

• Short Description: Remove possessives
  
  
• Full Description:

  This is useful when trying to normalize terms such as Down's Syndrome and Down Syndrome to one form.

  No effect on the -m option. "none" is added at the end of the output.
  
  

• Difference:
  1. New version trims output terms (remove spaces at the beginning and ending of the term).
  
  
  
• Features:
  1. Recursively remove " 's " and " 'S " at the end of any words in the input term (AAA's -> AAA).
  2. Remove apostrophe if " s' " and " S' " at the end of any words in the input term (AAAs' -> AAAs).
  3. Remove apostrophe if " x' " and " X' " at the end of any words in the input term (AAAx' -> AAAx).
  4. Remove apostrophe if " z' " and " Z' " at the end of any words in the input term (AAAz' -> AAAz).
