      I always thought of it as a possessive noun, not plural.

      But honestly i don’t know if i just made possessive noun up or not.

        Your mom’s sixth divorce: the sixth divorce belonging to your mom. In this case “mom’s” is a possessive singular noun. It feels like an adjective, because it’s describing a sixth divorce, but is technically a noun.
