      Agreed. We use the possessive in this sense in English. It should be accepted. I hope you reported it.

        Would "neto no cobertor" also be correct since "no" is a contraction?

          Why is 'A vó' not accepted?

          Does envolvar specifically mean "to envelop", as in to wrap/roll up, or can it also mean to cover in general?
