> For 3andii bayt, etc, you might say "prepositions of possession." Obviously there's no clear term from traditional Arabic grammar since they are after all just prepositions.

This is because in Traditional Arabic Grammar , the parts of speech are only three: nouns, verbs and  prepositions while in modern Arabic grammar, we have all the other grammatical categories available in some other languages. Possession in Arabic can also be expressed by the pronouns of possession (jaa', hum, na, etc.).
