nätverksens

Nätverksens is not a standard form in modern Swedish. In Swedish, the genitive (possessive) of nätverk (network) is typically expressed as nätverkets in the singular and nätverkens in the plural. The form nätverksens is generally considered nonstandard and is rarely, if ever, accepted as correct in contemporary Swedish dictionaries or usage guides.

Linguistically, nätverk is a compound noun formed from nät (net) and verk (work or construction). The possessive endings follow regular Swedish patterns: adding -ets to form the singular possessive (nätverkets) and -ens to form the plural possessive (nätverkens). Nätverksens would resemble an attempt to combine elements from different genitive patterns, but it does not align with standard Swedish morphology.

In practical usage, if one intends to express ownership related to a single network, one would write “nätverkets [egendom/egenskap]” (the network’s [property]). If referring to multiple networks, one would write “nätverkens [egendom/egenskap]” (the networks’ [property]). Misuse or variation such as nätverksens can appear in drafts, informal writing, or due to influence from non-Swedish languages, but it is not recognized as correct Swedish.
