From the slightest bit of Japanese I know, I'll try to explain how I figure 'no' is used. For example "tomodachi no uchi" means "the home of a friend" The 'no' part could be the 'of' part, giving something some sort of possession of another.
KyleGoetz and masaegu are infinitely better at explaining things such as grammar. I know they and I haven't seen eye to eye very often, but I'm way past those days. I respect their knowledge and sometimes learn from it, though I'm not nearly at the level where most of the knowledge they impart would benefit me. They are probably your best resources here. I'd wait until they show up.
