I was quite surprised by reading this sentence, and the thing which
surprised me was the way you seemingly/apparently understand the
suffix {-wI'}.

It seems, that the way you understand this suffix, if we say things
like {be'wI'} "my wife," {SoSwI'} "my mother", {HoDwI'} "my captain",
etc, then this signifies "ownership"/"possession", the same way one
possesses his car, his keys, his house. But I don't think this is
actually correct.

Granted, the tkd, lists the suffix {-wI'} under chapter/paragraph
3.3.4 with the title "possession/specification", and it goes even
further by saying, and I quote the words of god himself: "When the
noun being possessed refers to a being capable of using language, a
special set of suffixes is used for first- and second-person
possessors". But then it says: "These suffixes occur in, for example,
{joHwI'} 'my lord' and {puqlI'} 'your child'".

I don't think that a person possesses his child or his lord, as he
would possess a physical object, so I can't understand your comment
of: {wa' be' vISaH jIH, 'ach ghaH vISeHbe'. <be'wI'> vIpongDI' chaq
jIwogh}.
