French 'y' is like 'there' in English, roughly (IIRC; it's been decades). But, since English doesn't use it, it doesn't matter. Presumably, it would take a normal 's for possession. I don't know about accusative or dative.

    So, something like y/y/y’s: e.g.
    I think y is very nice.
    I met y recently.
    Is this y’s dog?
    Y told me that the house is y’s.
    Y said y would rather do it yself.
