And finally all possessive adjectives ''can'' be used as determiners. (See below.)
===Possessives===
All possessives can be used as determiners; however, it is more common to for possessive phrases using a definite article (''sa'' or ''he'') followed by the noun followed in turn by the possessive declined as a weak adjective. For example, ‘my house’ may be rendered as ''mīn hūs'' or ''þa hūs mīna''.
The third person non-reflexive pronouns ''do not decline'', and they may precede or follow the noun without an article, and any adjective that accompanies the noun phrase is declined as strong.
