Paradigm
3.5. Possesive pronouns
Possesive pronouns are in fact adjectives, derived by means of the Prot-Germ suff *-īna- (Goth -ein-) in sing, and the suff *era- (Goth -ar-) in pl; cf meins (my), þeins (2 pers sing) (your, thy), seins (his, her its; their); unsar (our), izwar (2 pers pl) (your); there is also attested the form of dual poss pron ig(g)qar (of you two) – iggqarai (fem sing Dat).
Possesive pronouns are declined the same way as the strong adjectives. e.g. Nom sing masc meins, neut mein or meinata, fem meina. neut poss pron-s unsar and izwar in Nom and Acc cases have only short forms (that is, they do not have the neut sing ending -ata in these two cases).
