sienkiewicza

"Sienkiewicza" is a possessive form referring to "Sienkiewicz," a common Polish surname, often associated with the famous writer Henryk Sienkiewicz. It means "of Sienkiewicz."

Here, 'Sienkiewicza' is used in the genitive case to indicate possession, referring to something (a book) belonging to Sienkiewicz, a Polish author.

This usage places 'Sienkiewiczowi', a different inflected case (dative), to indicate to or for Sienkiewicz in a dedicatory sense.
