these are orphaned POS that have no methods

    let types = {

      Preposition: 'Preposition',
      Posessive: 'Posessive',

record them in pos{}

  }

when the text changes, rebuild derivative fields

  rebuild() {
    this.text = this.text || '';
    this.text = this.text.trim();
    this.normal = '';
    this.normalize();
  }
  changeTo(str) {

    this.rebuild();
  }

      return true;
    }
