like tliat of the possessive case and the adjective. When used predicatively, 

 like our mine, thine, its position is more free, and it may occujiy tlie place 

 in the sentence which emphasis may assign to it. 



The list of these pronouns is as follows : 

 g^-u, ke-u my, mine; loc. gc-utant ; instr. gd-utantka. 

 mi, mi thi/, thine; loc. mitant ; instr. mitantka; me for mi, cf 142, 7. 

 hiinkelam, abbr. hunkiam, his, her (hers), its, when present or visible. 

 m'na, m'nd. Mod. p'na, his, her (hers), its, when absent ; loc. m'natant,

 ndlam our, ours. 

 malam your, yours. 

 hunkelamsham, abbr. hunkiamsham, hunkimshani, their, theirs, when 



present, visible, 

 lu'nalam, Mod. p'nalam, their, theirs, when absent; m'na stands for 



m'nalam in 29, 16. 101, 8. 

 sham, sam their, theirs, absent or present ; to be regarded here as an 



abbreviation of hunkelamsham : p'tissap sam their father, 101, 11. 



It sometimes stands for m'nalam, p'nalam; cf 107, 13. 108, 4. 



Some instances are found in the Texts, where the possessive pronoun, 

 though used attributively, occupies the place after its noun, instead of pre-

 16. Cf also 54, 4. 59, 12. 94, 8. 10. 109, 3. 



VIL REFLECTIVE PRONOUN. 



When the act of the transitive verb has for its object the subject of the 

 verb, this is expressed by a reflective verb. The object of the reflective 

 verb is either a pronoun standing separately for itself, called reflective pro-
