English translation:entails the presupposition / OR: presupposes
Explanation:
A presupposition always has an entailment. That's a given, so I do think it's safe to omit the verb "traz" because the meaning is included in 'presupposes'.

"However, unlike a genitive construction, the prefix, even though it explicitly marks the referent being "pointed to,"also entails the presupposition of an unspecified possessor."

BETTER:

"However, unlike a genitive construction, the prefix, even though it explicitly marks the referent being "pointed to,"also presupposes the notion of an unspecified possessor."
