The possessive pronoun agreeing with its substantive is equivalent to the genitive of the personal pronoun depending on that substantive; as, D ὁ σὸς πατήρ, thy father. ὁ πατήρ σου, the father of-thee (or, thy father). Obs. 4.-Hence the possessive pronoun may be substituted either for the genitive of the subject (Gen. (1.) p. 35.); as, ἡ ἐμὴ αἰδώς, my [self-]respect; or, for the genitive of the object (Gen. (2.) p. 36.); as, ἡ ἐμὴ αἰδώς, the respect [felt] for me (i. e. of which I am the object): for ἡ ἐμοῦ αἰδώς might mean either the one or the other.
