1) My brother's friend's opinions
2) My brothers' friend's opinions
I hope "1" and "2" are pretty clear and correct.
Now, let us suppose that the brother in "1" is a brother-in-law and that all the brothers in "2" are brothers-in-law.
Question is: How do we rewrite "1" and "2" in these cases?
Following the J.R.'s suggestion, I have done some preliminary researches and I found that when in-laws become possessive brothers-in-law is written brother-in-law's. So, I would conclude that we should rewrite "1" and "2" in the same way, as follow.
i) My brother-in-law's friend's opinions.
ii) My brother-in-law's friend's opinions.
But, if it is so, how can we distinguish the two different cases?
