Shouldn't it be "omnes"? Omnibus is dative/ablative. Omnium is genitive, but the only thing that is genitive is Yrolg's.
Great stories by the way

Profile Post. I believe I will be reading your work in the coming days. However, I have homework to do that I must attend to immediately.

RichGodFrodo,
Hello. I don't know what source says that omnibus is dative, but the source is incorrect. I'm not sure you understand fully the meaning of an indirect object or the dative category of words. Omnibus is a member of the classification of nouns which may be member of a series of other categories of nouns with dependence upon the context in which the word is used.
In the phrase, "Yrolg's Omnibus", there is no verb, therefore, the word cannot be dative. Ablation also requires basic sentence structure (usually in the form of a verb) in order to apply. Further, "omnium" doesn't have a definition which would apply here. An omnibus is an anthology of similar works created by a single author whereas an "omnium" (in the closest definition to what I think you mean) is the aggregate value of different stocks in loans (usually applied to the government). Furthermore, "omnes" is a pure Latin word (to an extent
) and would therefore be changing the language of my title -- something I'm not interested in. Even further still, however, the meaning of the word "omnes" is not at all what omnibus is currently stating.
As to the topic of genitivity, I don't know why it applies. As you said, the only word expressing possession in my title is "Yrolg's", and, being a possessive noun itself, it cannot affect the dative/ablative case of the word "omnibus". I'll be frank in saying I'm not an expert on Latin, but I needn't be -- the words I'm using are the English variations (if indeed you thought they were the latin ones).
If you're referring to another usage, please do tell me.
Thanks for your comments!
