ἐμός ἐμή ἐμόν	my, my own; mine	ἡμέτερος -α_ -ον	our, our own; ours
σός σή σόν	thy, thine own; thine	ὑ_μέτερος -α_ -ον	your, your own; yours
[ὅς ἥ ὅν	his (her, its) own]	σφέτερος -α_ -ον	their own

a. Distinguish the adjectival from the pronominal use: ὁ ἐμὸς φίλος or ὁ φίλος ὁ ἐμός my friend (adj.) from φίλος ἐμός a friend of mine (pron.). See 1196 a.
