Notoriously, all possessive constructions take the definitive article, which also agrees in gender, number and case. Some examples include: | |||
* (masculine) so minu broþar. → My brother. | |||
* (feminine) sa mina rasna. → My house. | |||
* (neuter) þata mino agrano. → My fruit. | |||

In Luthic, the third-person possessive pronouns “sinu, sina, sino” are used universally for “his,” “her,” “its,” and “their,” without distinction of gender or number in the possessor. This pattern parallels Romance languages such as Italian, where “suo, sua” likewise serve multiple functions depending on context. | |||

Examples include: | |||
* (his) sa sina moþar. → His mother. | |||
