Klockans

Klockans is a Swedish term that primarily appears as the possessive form of the noun klocka (clock). In Swedish, the definite singular form of klocka is klockan, and adding the possessive suffix -s yields klockans, meaning “the clock’s.” It is used to indicate ownership or relation, as in klockans visare (the clock’s hand) or klockans gång (the clock’s running/movement).

As a grammatical form, klockans illustrates how Swedish forms possessives for definite singular nouns. The construction is common in everyday language and is not dependent on an accompanying possessive pronoun.

In practice, klockans is usually written in lowercase when used as a normal word. If capitalized, it may appear as part of a proper name, title, or brand in fictional works or local contexts, but there is no widely attested, formal entity named “Klockans” in major reference sources.

Overall, the primary significance of Klockans lies in its role as an example of Swedish possessive morphology, rather than as a standalone cultural or historical item. It serves to illustrate how ownership is expressed in noun phrases related to clocks. See also klocka, Swedish possessive form, and Swedish grammar on possessives.
