Is "Grohiik feynu" gramatically correct?

I'm trying to come up with all possible translations for "wolfsbane" or "Wolf's Bane" and I'm pausing on "grohiik feynu" - as far as I can tell it would literally translate to "wolves their bane" and I'm not sure if that's right. (I know I could use "do" or "se", but I want to know if I'm using suffixes correctly.)

"--- I want to know if I'm using suffixes correctly."

Short answer, not quite. -u is the first person plural possessive suffix. First person plural possessive is "our". Grohiik feynu is "wolf our bane".

The possible unambiguous constructions where grohiik is the possessor and feyn is the possessed are the following: feyn do grohiik, feynsegrohiik, feyn se grohiik, grohiikro feyn.
