Possessive pronouns cannot be used in a construction of noun ellipsis unless suppletive forms are used.
readmore
Possessive pronouns cannot be used in a construction of noun ellipsis:
Example 1
| *Wy nimme net syn auto mar myn / dyn / .. |
| we take not his car but my / your / .. |
| We do not take his car, but mine / yours / .. |
Instead, a special form of the pronoun must be used, reserved exclusively for noun ellipsis. Interestingly, these special forms are not the same as the ones which are used by adjectives in constructions of noun ellipsis (-e, -en, -enien). There is also considerable variation in these special forms. The following table presents the possessor pronouns and their nominal counterparts (from Dyk (2011) and Frisian Language Corpus):
Table 1
| Gloss | Possessor pronoun | Forms used in noun ellipsis |
| 1SG | mynmine | mines, minen, minent, mynt, mynten, myntes |
| 2SG | dynyours | dines, dinen, dinent, dynt, dynten, dyntes |
| 3SG.MSC | synhis | sines, sinen, sinent, synt, synten, syntes |
| 3SG.FEM | harhers | harres, harrent |
| 1PL | úsours | uzes |
| 2PL | jimyours | jimmes |
| 3PL | harhers | harres, harrent |
| 2SG formal | joyours | jowes |
| 3SG arbitrary | jins | jinnes, jinnen |
