Another answer to this teaser would be pose. I suspect there are a few more!
what exactly is POSESS ?
Although it is decidedly more colloquial than the trio prince/princes/princess, the trio pa/pas/pass works.
That was the quickest i ever got any teser. i dunno y. it just seemed way to easy
nice one!!!!!!!!! where did you get this idea?!?!?
Mad-Ade's right... it's spelt "possess."
But, "Posse," and "Posses," and then "Possess" works just fine.

But "possess" is a verb form - it is not singular or plural.
One of my favorites!! Three cheers for Mad-Ade, the greatest Braingler yet known!! May he rest in peace!!
