Radak on Genesis
וינהג...מקנה קנינו, the first time the word מקנהו appears in our verse it refers to cattle Yaakov had acquired as a result of his activities as shepherd. The expression מקנה קנינו on the other hand, refers to livestock he had purchased. Whenever the word מקנה is spelled with the vowel tzeyreh under the letter נ this indicates that it is in the construct mode.
